Speaking to the media here on Thursday, he said sensing that she would not get a ticket in Congress, Jaya Prada has been trying to enter other parties. He also criticized the YSR Congress for using the pictures of the late TDP founder N T Rama Rao in its banners. He said they need to explain why they were using the pictures.

He also said that Sharmila was making unfounded allegations, as she has no knowledge on anything. He also said that the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu has been making totally impracticable assurances. He said in other countries one would have been jailed for making such promises.

Talking to the media here on Thursday, he advised them not to have any hopes about his support. He has reminded that NTR said earlier that he would remain in TDP until his last breath. He sarcastically said that Dawood Ibrahim, Idi Amin and Musharraf were matches to the YSR Congress leaders and hence their photos should be used. He said if they had any shame, the photos of late N T Rama Rao and Jr. NTR should be removed. He questioned how any party could display the photos of the founder of another party. He said his party had no objection if the YSR Congress used the photos of pickpockets and other thieves. He said they should realize that TDP was working for fulfillment of the ideals of late NTR and not YSR. He said people would not forgive the YSR Congress for using the pictures of the late founder of TDP.

Talking about the corruption during the YSR rule, Revanth Reddy, several trucks could be loaded with irregular GOs issued during the Congress rule. He said lands of the Gurukul Trust Bhavan were illegally occupied. He also said that hero Nagarjuna’s wife Amala has illegally annexed public land in the name of animal care. He told the people that whoever trusted YSR Congress would have to depend only on pesticides later.

It may be mentioned that the CBI informed the court that there was need to estimate the income of Jagati Publications for the year 2012 – 2013. As per the contention of the CBI, the IT department started looking at the investments into Jagan’s companies.

It authorities requested the CBI court for a copy of the charge sheet filed by the CBI in the Vanpic issue, for computation of the income of Jagati Publications. The department also asked for the agreement papers and other note sheets. The CBI court granted permission.

The CBI filed charge sheet in the Vanpic case on August 13 last year. That was the fourth charge sheet. When IT authorities approached the CBI for a copy, the agency said it should take it only through the court. Following this suggestion, the IT department filed a petition on December 3 for the copies. Now that the court gave the permission, IT authorities are concentrating on the Vanpic case and Nimmagadda’s investments in Jagan’s firms.

It may be recalled that CBI has alleged that Nimmagadda too undue benefits from the late Chief Minister Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and invested in Jagan’s companies. The agency also arrested Nimmagada. He is presently in Chanchalguda jail along with Jagan. CBI also made former Revenue Minister Dharmana an accused in the Vanpic case.
