Vivekananda’s daughter seeks support for her cousin Sharmila in Kadapa
Reiterating her demand for expediting the probe into the murder of her father, Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, Suneetha Narreddy has accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy — who is also her cousin — of shielding the accused in the case.
She urged the electorate of Andhra Pradesh to vote against the incumbent government and appealed to the voters of the Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency to elect A.P. Congress chief Y.S. Sharmila, defeating YSRCP MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy, an accused in the Vivekananda murder case.
Vivekananda Reddy, former Kadapa MP and brother of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara
Reddy, was found murdered at his residence in Pulivendula in March 2019.
‘CBI under pressure’
Addressing the media at the TUWJ Office here on Monday, Dr. Narreddy said that she was seeking support from the people due to the delayed and denied justice, citing various reasons, including delays in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation.
“Since the CBI is under pressure, it is not accelerating the probe,” she alleged, accusing Mr. Avinash of murdering his father for political gain. “Since my father was a prominent leader, they wanted to eliminate him,” she said.
Condemning the remarks made against Y.S. Sharmila by Y.S. Vimalamma, who is the sister of Vivekananda Reddy, she said: “The comments of Vimalamma that Y.S. Rajashekhara Reddy would not have allowed daughters from the family to pursue political careers, had he been alive, are false. She (Vimalamma) is making several contradictory statements,” Dr. Narreddy said.
She questioned the silence of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the case. She also accused the media group owned by Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy of disseminating misleading information on her father’s murder.
