Telugu Desam Party MLA Devineni Umamaheswar Rao on Saturday launched a scathing attack on YSR district (formerly Kadapa) MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for comparing his late father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy with the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
Talking to media persons, Devineni said that it was a disgraceful that Mahatma Gandhi was being compared to a person who was so corrupt.
Describing YSR as someone who was corrupt to the core, Devineni alleged that he and his family had amassed properties worth over Rs. 1 lakh crore during the 5 years of his rule. He demanded that the centre and state governments order an inquiry into the allegedly 'ill-gotten' wealth of the YSR family.
He said that the inquiry should probe how the family accumulated immense wealth from the year 2004 onwards. The TDP leader added that if the investigators compare the family's wealth before and after 2004, his words will be proved right.
Devineni suggested that the illegal properties held by the YSR family should be properly utilised for the welfare of the state population, by confiscating them.
