Jagan should be hanged: Anam Ramnarayan Reddy

NELLORE: The usually cool finance ministerAnamRamnarayan Reddy's acerbic attack on YSR Congress leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Friday took the political circles by surprise. He went on to demand that the Kadapa MP, who is in judicial custody in Chanchalguda jail in disproportionate assets case, be hanged for corruption in public life.
Speaking to reporters here, Ramnarayan Reddy said that Jaganmohan Reddy was corrupt to the core."There is no other leader in the country as corrupt as Jagan. If there is anyone in the country who deserved to be hanged, it should be Jaganmohan Reddy," the minister observed.
His comments invited the wrath of the YSRCP leadership all over the state. The minister's effigy was burnt in Hyderabad and activists of the party staged a protest outside the residence of Ramnarayan Reddy.
He alleged that Jagan had been running party affairs from Chanchalguda jail. "Jagan has looted the state. He is corrupt to the core. And because of Jagan's actions, many people are now in trouble. They are behind the bars," he said.
Taking potshots at Jagan's brother-in-law Anil Kumar, the minister alleged that he had been occupying the houses of the poor and converting them into churches.
When reporters asked him about the CBI chargesheet against home minister P Sabita Indra Reddy, Ramnarayan Reddy said the minister need not resign from her post. "The Congress and the state government will provide her all legal assistance," he added.
