YS Jagan Mohan Reddy came before Select Media and claimed innocence in the Adani issue.
Even though the US Department of Justice’s indictment statement mentioned ‘Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister (2021)’ and the bribes on three to four occasions, Jagan said his name is not mentioned and even said, “Somebody should be a Fool to Name me in this issue.”

The handpicked Journalists at the Pressmeet would not cross-question and Jagan comfortably got away.
It is true that Jagan is not named in the indictment but ‘Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister’ is mentioned.

The document clearly mentions that the Adani Group paid ₹1,750 crore in bribes to “Foreign Official #1,” an Indian citizen who served as a high-ranking government official in Andhra Pradesh between May 2019 and June 2024.
The indictment also that Adani “personally interacted” with “Foreign Official #1” in Andhra Pradesh on several occasions in 2021 to finalize agreements.

If not for Jagan, this “Foreign Official #1” is someone in Jagan’s Government who was acting on Jagan’s behalf.
Also, the then-Power Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy clearly stated that he got a call from a CMO official to sign the document after Midnight and he refused to do that.
After he refused, the matter was put in the Cabinet the next day and was ratified without discussion.
If Jagan is in no way related to the Bribery issue, what is the urgency to pressure the Minister at Midnight?
Why was such a big deal passed without discussion in the cabinet?
Why was the entire Government in such haste to help this “Foreign Official #1”?
There is a high chance that this “Foreign Official #1” is Jagan himself or someone who is working on Jagan’s behalf in this deal!
