Jagan Asks President For Stronger Anti-Defection Law
The YSR Congress leader submitted a memorandum to the President in Delhi against four defecting MLAs being inducted into the AP cabinet by CM Chandrababu Naidu.
Accompanied by his lieutenants, YSR Congress Party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy today called on president Pranab Mukherjee and discussed the political situation in Andhra Pradesh.
Jagan met the President at 2 pm and submitted a memorandum against the induction of four YSR Congress turncoat legislators into the cabinet by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
He complained that Naidu had given berths to the four defecting MLAs in utter disregard of political values, and urged the President to take quick action in his regard.
According to reliable sources, Reddy was in Delhi to urge the President and the union government to strengthen the anti-defection law. He alleged that the TDP was buying MLAs with tainted money, which had been proved in the case of the note-for-vote scam.
Party MPs Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy, Vijaya Sai Reddy, Vara Prasad and Y S Avinash Reddy, and MLA Raghupati accompanied Jagan.
