Pulivendula MLA Y S Vijayamma condemned the
arrest of her son and Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy by the CBI in the disproportionate assets case.
Talking to reporters after Jagan's arrest at Dilkusha Guest House, Vijayamma blamed the Congress for the entire episode, and alleged that Jagan was wrongly framed in the case.
"What was my son's fault? Has he committed a sin by taking out the Odarpu Yatra?" she asked the Congress High Command.
Vijayamma said that Jagan's Odarpu Yatra and the public response and support that he received in the yatra had provoked the Congress to act against him.
"My husband wanted Rahul Gandhi to become Prime Minister after 2014 elections. If Sonia Gandhi's son could become the Prime Minister, what was wrong if YSR's son wants to become the Chief Minister?" she asked.
She also raised suspicion over the reasons that led to the death of her late husband Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. It may be mentioned here that YSR was killed in a helicopter crash in September 2009.
Vijayamma asked the central and the state Governments to clarify what they propose to do with Jagan.
Later, she staged a dharna in front of Dilkusha Guest House in protest against Jagan's arrest. (INN)
