Guntur (AP), May 26 : Senior Congress leader from Andhra Pradesh, V Hanumantha Rao, on Friday said that the CBI should have probed the role of KVP Ramachandra Rao, the chief advisor to former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, in connection with the disproportionate assets case involving YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
Expressing his disapproval at the arrest of Excise Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao by CBI yesterday in Jagan graft case, the senior Rajya Sabha MP said, “Mopidevi is a small fry as far as scams pertaining to the erstwhile Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government is concerned.
The CBI should have quizzed KVP Ramachandra Rao because he had played a crucial role in the YSR government”.
Rao also criticised media for portraying Jagan as a “hero figure”.“The media exposure should commensurate with Jagan's status and role in the state politics,” he observed.
