Former minister Mopidevi Venkataramana's brother and son joined the YRS Congress party on Friday. Mopidevi is currently in prison due to his alleged involvement in Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's Disproportionate Assets case.
Mopidevi's brother Harinath Babu and son Rajiv joined the YSRCP in the presence of the party's honorary president Y S Vijayamma. Speaking on the occasion, Harinath accused Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy of being discriminatory towards his brother.
He said that while the Chief Minister had been trying to save other ministers in the DA case, Mopidevi was left to his fate as he (Mopidevi) belongs to a backward community. (INN)
