As the YSR Congress (YSRC) party chief Jaganmohan Reddy charged the Congress and the Telegu Desum Party (TDP) of conspiring against him in the alleged disproportionate assets case, his party in a statement, has made its displeasure clear on the way a section of media has been trying to “subvert the investigation process.” “After his request for a postponement (of personally appearing before the CBI) was turned down, a section of media has been beaming news that would create panic among the general people,” party spokespersons Ambati Rambabu and Vasireddy Padma told reporters here. Padma alleged that sections of media carried reports that suggested Reddy was not cooperating with the investigators. She urged the party cadre not to get anxious or provoked. The statement said that the police has been harassing the YSRC cadres, and has urged them to maintain calm and exercise restraint. The statement also brushed aside the charge that Reddy was fearing arrest and has moved court for anticipatory bail. “We have explored all legal options and complied with the legal system,” it said.
