TDP leader says Jagan Mohan Reddy faces daily trials as long‑delayed probes accelerate

Varla Ramaiah, a member of the Telugu Desam Party’s Polit Bureau, said on Thursday that Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, president of the YSR Congress Party, will now stand before courts on a daily basis after fifteen years of stalled corruption investigations. Ramaiah told reporters at the TDP central office near Mangalagiri that the Central Bureau of Investigation has presented concrete evidence that Jagan amassed wealth of nearly ₹43,000 crore while his father was chief minister. He added that the Enforcement Directorate interrogated Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy for two straight days as part of the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder probe, further tightening the pressure on the chief minister. The TDP leader noted that the YSRCP initially asked the CBI to handle the murder case but later withdrew that request for reasons known only to the party. Ramaiah claimed the YSRCP is now trying to undermine the upcoming local‑body elections, fearing it has little chance of success. He warned that the noose is closing around Jagan in several other major scandals and that investigative agencies are zeroing in on conspirators linked to the Vivekananda Reddy case. ## Context The allegations come amid a broader pattern of Indian politicians facing intensified scrutiny from anti‑corruption agencies, especially when large sums of wealth are tied to periods of political power. This reflects growing judicial assertiveness in high‑profile corruption matters.
