Jagan's Mother Meets Pranab, Demands Son's Release


NEW DELHI, Jan 16 (PTI): YS Jaganmohan Reddy's mother Vijayamma knocked at the doors of President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday demanding that her jailed son be released immediately.

Presenting signatures of 1.30 crore people who have signed in favour of Jagan's release from prison, she told Mukherjee that her politician-son is being "targeted" by the ruling Congress.

Accompanied by party leaders, the widow of late YS Rajasekhara Reddy told Mukherjee that Jagan has been languishing in a jail in Hyderabad since May 2012 and demanded that he be released.

Vijayamma said the party had organised a massive signature campaign for Jagan's release across the state and claimed 1.90 crore people had participated in the campaign.

"Due to paucity of time, only 1 crore and 30 lakh signatures could be scanned and all were presented to the President," YSR Congress MP M Rajamohan Reddy said.

    YS Jaganmohan Reddy's mother Vijayamma knocked at the wrong doors. Instead of knocking the President Pranab Mukherjee's door, she should have knock the 10th Janpath door!!!!. Within some time, her son will be released!!!!.

    Dear friends,

    Why are you thinking on communal lines on corrupt people and applying different views on Yeddyurappa and Jagan.

    Highway work is not a valid ground for release of a person accused of huge corruption.

    If this type of signature campaign is accepted, then it will lead to you a bad precedent.

    One day or the other, let all these political thieves shall go to jail due to the political quarrels among themselves.

    Jaganmohan reddy mesmerises (mohana) every one. Here is an individual (!!), who paid just Rs.2.92 lacs income tax in the FY 2008-09, shot his income levels so high within an year and paid Rs.6.72 Crores in the FY 2009-10. In the current FY, he has already paid about Rs.80 Crore . From no where, he could establish mega corporateds viz., Jagathi Publications -Sakshi group, Bharathi Cements etc.

    Do not know whether we should appreciate his commitment to Income tax department or wonder about how did he amass such huge wealth in short time!!

    One thing is sure, all of us appreciate success...in whatever way that comes.

    Surprisingly not able to come out of clutches of law...needs supporting HAND.

    I think Jagan's captivity in Jail for so long has earned him more sympathy votes in recent election and caused losses to congress in the election.
