[1]

Kadapa MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, languishing in Chanchalguda jail, had a number of visitors on Wednesday.

Kovur MLA and YSRC leader Prasanna Kumar Reddy visited Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy in the morning, at around 11 am. Mr Prasanna Kumar Reddy later said that the Kadapa MP was being 'witch-hunted' by Congress as he was a mass leader, like YSR.

A while later, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy’s wife Bharathi Reddy and Jagathi Publica-tions vice-chairman Vijay Sai Reddy met him for about an hour. This was the second time Ms Bharathi Reddy visited her husband in the jail.

Mr Vijay Sai Reddy was also jailed in the Jagan illegal assets case, but was granted bail by the court. Later at noon, Bala Nagi Reddy, TD MLA from Mantralayam of Kurnool, along with former MLA of Adoni Sai Prasad Reddy, too met Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy in the jail.

Mopidevi joins ‘elite’ club in Chanchalguda

Former excise minister Mopidevi Venkatara-mana joined the “VIP club” of Chanchalguda.

The CBI officials brou-ght Mr Venkataramana to the jail before noon and at first, he was kept in the admission barrack of the central jai. Later, he was shifted to another barrack, where he was provided the special class facilities.

The Chanchalguda men’s jail now houses 11 VIP prisoners and all of them were granted ‘special class prisoner’ status by the court. Incidentally, all these VIPs were put behind the bars by the CBI.

With Mr Venkataramana’s arrival, the jail now houses two politicians arrested on corruption charges.
