Anam gets a taste of Sharmila medicine

YSR Congress Party leader Sharmila fired salvo at Congress leaders for their remarks against her brother and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Addressing a public meeting in Mylavaram, Sharmila said: "The late YSR had treated Anam Ramnarayana Reddy as his own brother. He had made him minister and given a political life to him. Today, the same person has forgotten everything and making damaging statements against YSR. He is saying that Jagan has to be hanged. But Anam backed other ministers, giving them a clean chit. Has Jagan ever stepped in to Secretariat? Has he called any minister asking favours? Though Jagan is in no way related to the 26 GOs, the minister is saying that Jagan should be hanged. Is he a human being with a conscience?"

Referring to Anam, she also recalled a well known adage that Ungrateful people are worse than dogs.

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress leaders, she said: "Kiran Kumar Reddy in the past had declared that Jagan must be kept in jail for 14 years. While Botsa Satyanarayana has nodded in agreement to derogatory remarks made by Anam. Who are you to say Jagan is guilty? I ask this to every person who call Jagan and YSR guilty. He is only on judicial remand and no court has found him guilty. No court has given a clean chit to Chandrababu Naidu who had given crores to his benamis. No court has deemed Botsa fit nor refuted the fact that he is a  liquor don. Also, no court ruled that the 70 crore rupees found at Chiranjeevi's relative's house was legal. But with their wickedness, all of them have managed to escape the law and get cases leveled against them removed. A day will come when they will pay for their sins."

"When YSR was alive, they would call him Suryudu and Chadrudu. But after his demise, they are making defamatory remarks against the departed soul. Rajiv Gandhi's name was removed from the Bofors scam after his death. But YSR was named in the CBI chargesheet after his death. Saddest part is that the ministers who are enjoying powers because of YSR, kept mum when the late chief minister's name was being included in the chargesheet. But now, when other ministers names are being dragged, they are making a big hue and cry over the issue. Why?" questioned Sharmila.
She also posed an open question to Anam asking him why he did not stop YSR when if he did do a mistake (according to Anam). Why didn't he raise the issue when YSR was alive and why make allegations after his death? "Gos are passed after consensus by all the concerned ministers and officials. It cannot be enforced by the desire of just one CM. The procedure is bound by rules of the Secretariat."

A minister in his defense had said, "We do not know anything. We have signed wherever he (YSR) asked us to sign. We don't know the rules and regulations. Then such a person deserve to be a minister?" Sharmila asked.

The YSRCP leader went on to say that "If Jagan had amassed wealth in crores and wanted to get himself involved in corruption, he could have left the state and settled down comfortably elsewhere. Jagan became a victim of hardships only because he chose to live up to the promise made to his father."

"If Jagan anna sets aside credibility and values like these ministers, there would be no cases against him. He would remain as free as Naidu. Or if he sold his party like Chiranjeevi, he could have become the union minister or as Gulam Nabi Azad said he could have earned himself the chief minister's post.

She challenged Anam to quit his minister post and seek apology if he can't prove that they (YSR family) are associated with Bayyaram mines in any way. "If you prove that we are involved with the mines, then I will pack everything, apologise, stop the padayatra and go home," challenged Sharmila.
