Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Parliament District President Palla Srinivasa Rao has demanded punishment for the culprits in the YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case. He said that an MP belonging to the ruling party, who tried to portray the murder as ‘death by cardiac arrest’, should also be probed.
Addressing a media conference at the party office here on Tuesday, Srinivasa Rao alleged that the murder was done to enable the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to garner sympathy ahead of elections. He said that the CBI should also interrogate Prashant Kishor of I-PAC.
He also demanded an inquiry into the editor of ‘Sakshi’ newspaper for publishing a banner story titled ‘Narasur Rakta Charitra’. He demanded that people should understand the truth and question Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said that Mr. Jagan should remove the doubts arising in the minds of the public on the murder.
MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu, TDP state secretaries Lodgala Krishna, Putcha Vijay Kumar and Aarthi Mahesh, TNSF state president M. Pranav Gopal, BC cell president Thammaina Vijay Kumar, district leaders Alla Srinivasa Rao, Koneti Suresh and N. Shankar Rao were present.
TDP leaders released a booklet on the assassination of YS Vivekananda Reddy.
