Hyderabad, June 5: “There is no culture like covering up mistakes committed by leaders, whoever it may be, in the Congress and Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy would have faced CBI inquiry even if he continued in the party,” PCC president Botcha Satyanarayana has said.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Tuesday, Botcha said that even the Chief Minister was not above law and would undergo punishment on committing mistakes. Congress sees justice as justice and the guilty will have to face punishment, he added.
Stating that experienced leaders automatically get suitable positions in the party, the PCC Chief said that YSRCP honorary president YS Vijayamma and her daughter Sharmila were speaking utter lies to gain sympathy of the people. “I feel sorry for Vijayamma and Sharmila for their efforts to gain sympathy from the people”, he said.
Finding fault with the speeches of Vijayamma and Sharmila, Botcha asked how Jagan, who had constructed palatial buildings, would render social service. “There was no need for the Congress to kill former chief minister Dr YSR. He said that both mother and daughter were adopting Gobles theory and trying to make the people believe falsehood by chanting lies again and again. Rejecting the criticism of Vijayamma that why the CBI did not arrested him (Botcha) in connection with Volkswagen case, Botcha asserted that he never accepted bribe like Jagan. He said that the Congress party was not lagging behind any party in fighting corruption. Both Vijayamma and her daughter were campaigning vigorously as they are money-hungry. He also made it clear that he would seek apologies directly from the people if he had committed any mistake. He said that he has no history like Vijayamma to cover up mistakes.
Exuding confidence that the Congress would get good results in the bye-elections, Botcha said that he has doubts about Jagan’s latent hand behind the death of Dr YSR because Jagan had hastily collected signatures from the Congress legislators supporting his candidature for chief ministership immediately after death of his father in helicopter crash. He also said that he has addressed a letter to Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy seeking action against then Aviation director Brahmananda Reddy. Stating that the Congress was not scared of desertion of its MLAs, Botcha said that the Congress knows how to protect the government.
Lambasting TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu for dubbing the Congress as party of thieves, Botcha asked the former whether TDP was a party of “rishis’. He sarcastically said that though Naidu obtained stay orders from the courts, but the people did not grant exonerate him for his corrupt practices.
