JAGAN KOSAM
To
Mrs. Nirupama Menon Rao
Your’ Excellency,
We NRI’s from Andhra Pradesh strongly condemn the
political vendetta meted out to YSR Congress President and MP Mr.YS Jagan Mohan
Reddy by foisting false cases against him.
The functioning of CBI has been shoddy and has been
going out of its brief/manual while dealing with this particular case, which we
feel, is a conspiracy to keep YS Jagan Mohan Reddy away from the people by his
political adversaries.
We all firmly believe that CBI is functioning under
duress from ruling party and its style of functioning has been prejudiced and
many a time its office has been misused. CBI fails to complete even the preliminary investigation even after
one year. Charge sheets are being filed one after the other.
In the case of Mr.YS Jaganmohan Reddy
who is also a Member of Parliament, won with highest majority, I would like to
bring a few points to your notice.
Mr.YS Jaganmohan
Reddy has been arrested and put behind bars for the past seven months, with no
wrong doing established or proven. The way the cases were brought to the front
and the way the CBI has been functioning from day one have shown nothing but
humiliation of the justice system and mockery of democracy in the world’s
largest democracy. It has political vendetta written all over it. Presently, it
is widely believed in the political circles that ruling clan of Indian federal
government is using investigative agencies as well as the legal establishment
to their political advantage. Perhaps, granting authorization to CBI to
investigate the allegations on Mr.YS Jaganmohan Reddy, while blatant decline of
the same to an ex-head of the state from an opponent party obviously shows the
nexus of the ruling political leadership and purported independent
constitutional bodies. It is to be noted here that CBI was ordered enquiry just
basing on the PIL filed by the political opponents of Mr.YS Jaganmohan Reddy and
his father late Dr.YS Rajashekar Reddy, erstwhile chief minister of the state
of Andhra Pradesh.
It
should be clearly understood that main charges in the public interest
litigation (PIL) filed by Dr. Shankar Rao of Congress(I) and Mr. Ashok Gajapati
Raju & others belonging to another opponent political party against Mr.YS Jaganmohan
Reddy claiming that the State Government
issued 26 GOs during 2004-09, allegedly paving the way for loot of the public
property and as quid pro quo whereof, the said beneficiaries of the
alleged illegal GOs have invested in the share capital of the Companies with
which Mr.YS
Jaganmohan Reddy son of the then Chief
Minister Dr.YS
Rajashekar Reddy is connected. All this
started after Dr.YS
Rajashekar Reddy then CM had tragic death
in a plane crash and subsequently Mr.YS Jaganmohan Reddy differed with Congress (I) due to their dictatorial
attitude. The cabinet ministers authorized to issue the GO’s have informed the
Supreme Court that all the GO’s that were issued were according to the business
rules under the law and they all stand by them unequivocally. Mr.YS Jaganmohan
Reddy is still languishing in jail
without being successful to secure a bail, due to CBI ignorance in upholding
fundamental rights of a citizen given by Indian Constitution and because of
CBI’s selective use of legal guidelines, while other politicians who are in
good books with the government are leading lives happily with their respective
families.
Although
Mr.YS
Jaganmohan Reddy has remained composed
amid all that is happening around him, his family members have broken down in
anguish and helplessness.
We
appeal through you, Your Excellency, that the vindictive style of functioning
should be stopped to uphold the dignity of the high office of the premier
investigation agency.
Yours
sincerely,
Veera
Reddy Nandyala

SAMAIKYANHDRA PROTESTS CONTINUE IN SEEMANDHRA
The indefinite strike by Andhra Pradesh NGOs Association against the proposed division of the state crippled government services in 13 districts across Seemandhra region for the second consecutive day even as talks held between the government and striking employees failed to end the deadlock. More than four lakh employees in 13 districts are on strike demanding that Centre immediately withdraw its move to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh.
Talks were held between a cabinet sub-committee, comprising deputy Chief Minister Damodara Rajanarasimha, Finance Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy and leaders of AP Non-Gazetted Officers (APNGOs) Association in the state Secretariat here but, the latter refused to call off the stir. Government offices remained shut as employees from almost every department joined the strike. "Me, my joint collector, revenue divisional officers and deputy collectors are on duty. No one else is at work," Rayalaseema Collector said over phone.
AP NGOs Association president Ashok Babu said, Our strike will continue till our demand is conceded. We will announce our future course of action after a meeting of employees' associations in Guntur on 16th August. Meanwhile, normal life continued to be affected in various districts in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions with people from different walks of life voluntarily joining the agitation for united Andhra Pradesh which entered the 15th day today.
Public transport came to a grinding halt across Andhra-Rayalaseema as AP State Road Transport Corporation workers too continued the strike. In Tirupati, however, RTC drivers agreed to ply buses to Tirumala Hills, abode of Lord Venkateswara, for the convenience of thousands of pilgrims who visit the shrine daily. Chittoor district Collector Solomon Arokia Raj is constantly monitoring the situation to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the pilgrims.
A few hundreds buses were operated by RTC to Tirumala today after the district convinced the striking drivers to resume duties for the sake of the pilgrims. In state Secretariat here, employees hailing from Andhra-Rayalaseema regions boycotted work and organised a community lunch on the premises. They raised slogans demanding that Andhra Pradesh be kept united. Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy reviewed the situation with Chief Secretary P K Mohanty and directed the latter to ensure that emergency services were not affected due to the strike. The chief minister also asked heads of crucial departments like Municipal Administration, Medical and Health and Energy to see that civic and emergency services continued without hindrance. Meanwhile, rallies and various programmes were also organised in Vijaywada in Krishna district to protests against the division of Andhra Pradesh. A rally was held by transport employees this morning. The RTC employees on the other hand staged a rasta rako on the national highway to stop private operators from plying their buses.
The Bar Association of Vijayawada has decided to boycott courts till August 17, Bar Association President Jaykar Babu said. In Visakhapatnam, the Samaikhyandhra (United Andhra Pradesh) agitation affected the normal life in the district for the second day today, as commercial establishments and schools remained closed. Nearly 3,500 revenue employees have boycotted the services bringing the administration grinding halt. 56 government departments along with Andhra University staff and others have announced their solidarity to the strike.
About 70 small and big IT companies in Visakhapatnam and 20 companies in the IT Special Economic Zone at Rushikonda and Special Economic Zone at Duvvada were severely affected. Security has been beefed up in the district and large number of police personnel were deployed.
According to police, seven agitators have been taken into custody. At Rajahmundry in East Godavari district over 50,000 employees boycotted work and were joined by the civic employees in the protest. Normal life was completely disrupted as APSRTC did not run its services due to ongoing strike

YS JAGAN, YS VIJAYAMMA RESIGN OVER TELANGANA
Protesting against the attitude of Congress party on the bifurcation of state, YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and honorary president YS Vijayamma on Saturday announced their resignations to their posts.
Pulivendula MLA Vijayamma has faxed her resignation to Speaker Nadendla Manohar, while Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy, sent his resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker Meera Kumar.
"Jagan Mohan Reddy faxed his resignation letter to Lok Sabha Speaker through the jail authorities. It will also be sent by post," YSRCP MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy told reporters in Hyderabad.
The resignations are in protest against the "double standards" of Congress and the "unilateral" decision taken on the division of the state without taking the feelings of the stakeholders into consideration, he asserted.
It's worth mentioning here that 16 MLAs of YSRCP submitted their resignation from the Assembly membership two days before the Congress came out with its decision on July 30 to bifurcate the state and grant statehood to Telangana.
Mekapati sent his resignation to the Lok Sabha Speaker on August 5.
It is a known fact that Jagan had won from Kadapa with a margin of 5,21,000 votes while Vijayamma won with a majority of 85,191 votes in Pulivendula Assembly constituency.
