HYDERABAD/WARANGAL: After attacking sonia gandhi, the jagan camp has turned its guns on Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's closest aide K V P Ramchandra Rao. In a letter to the Rajya Sabha MP on Friday, Jagan loyalist and Parkal MLA Konda Surekha lashed out at KVP terming him as a 'broker' who turned Jalayaganam into 'dhanayagnam.' She also questioned KVP's silence on the death of his friend YSR in a chopper crash. KVP was not available for comments.
"YSR's death is not accidental. There are apprehensions that he was murdered. As political and security advisor, you did not even bother to clarify the doubts of the people and resign from the post," she said in her four-page letter. She held KVP responsible for YSR's death as he didn't discharge his duties as government's security advisor. "If you are claiming to be the closest friend of YSR, why didn't you resign immediately after his death," she asked.
Konda Surekha stated that it was KVP who got the signatures of 153 MLAs supporting Jagan as CM after YSR's untimely death. "But you conveniently kept quiet when accusations started flying thick and fast that Jagan was behind the signature campaign to anoint himself as CM to succeed his father. You have deliberately allowed Jagan's name to be tarnished among the people," she pointed out.
She wondered what was that compelled KVP to desert YSR's son and indulge in political games. "Jagan does not need KVP as people of the state are with Jagan," she emphasised.
She also blamed KVP for the massive corruption in Jalayagnam scheme. She demanded a CBI probe into KVP's assets after he was made the government advisor. "Before your advisory role, what was your economic status?" she questioned and alleged that KVP had amassed wealth in crores in the past six years.
She alleged that KVP had colluded with former major irrigation minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah by allocating irrigation contracts to big industrialists and contractors. "They quoted excess amounts for tenders and bagged crores worth irrigation project works and in every project a major share has gone into their kitty," she charged.
Surekha said KVP has no self-respect as he continued to play lobbying games in Delhi. After YSR's death, he clung on to the chair and became closer to former CM Rosaiah to bag more number of irrigation contracts. Surekha strongly condemned KVP's efforts to divide YSR family. "Before going to delhi , YSR's brother and MLC Vivekananda Reddy met you several times. You played a big role in creating a rift between Jagan and his uncle," she alleged.
She said the Congress high command had been critical of YSR family after his death. "But as a friend of YSR, you have never bothered to clear the air as you were busy looting public money," she accused.
She said KVP owed an answer to the people on her charges as he has brought a "bad name" to YSR family and particularly to his friendship with the late leader. "Thanks to YSR's benevolence, you were made an MP though you are not even fit to be elected as a ward member," she said. Surekha further said KVP allowed himself to be used by the high command.
