Hyderabad - The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday rejected YSR Congress Party leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy's plea for bail in connection with disproportionate assets case.
The high court said that it agreed with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI and a CBI court's contention that Reddy was not eligible for bail in connection with the case.
The bail plea was rejected even as Jagan Reddy's mother Y.S. Vijayamma reached Delhi to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other Union Ministers to highlight the alleged partisan manner in which the CBI was probing the illegal assets case against her son.
The YSR Congress delegation comprises Nellore Member of Parliament Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy, Members of the Legislative Assembly Shoba Nagi Reddy and M. Sucharita.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Rajamohan Reddy said the party’s honorary president would also raise the issue of farmers’ plight with Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar. He demanded that the Centre appoint a Supreme Court judge to probe the functioning of CBI.
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Botcha Satyanarayana is also in Delhi to seek clearance for the new Pradesh Congress Committee executive.
Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha member Palvai Goverdhan Reddy has reportedly received an invitation from Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi to meet him on Wednesday.
