Strange are the ways of YSR Congress. Political parties always try to distance themselves from those in jail. But YSR Congress leaders meet them in jail and later try to portray them as Freedom fighters who went to jail fighting for the people. Couple of months ago, Chandragiri MLA created a sensation by meeting Red Sandal smugglers in Rajahmundry Central jail and now it is the turn of Vijaya Sai Reddy who is recently made the Chief Secretary of the party’s state Unit.
It is known that few arrests are made when the representatives of Jagan’s Saraswathi Power attacked farmers while trying to work in those fields which were acquired by the late YSR. The fields were bagged at very low prices but there is no industry started there as promised. Government has booked criminal cases on those attacked farmers and cancelled the sanctions of Saraswathi Power.
Vijaya Sai Reddy met those arrested in jail and even supported his move telling that they were just protecting the company lands from the farmers. He even went on to say the farmers will have no right over the land since they took compensation for the lands. He also said that government can not cancel their sanctions since they are waiting for pollution board clearances to start the cement company.
