In a rebuttal to the ongoing attacks by a section of media on YSR family, Y.S. Vijayamma, mother of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, has written an open letter to deal with vicious issues raised by detractors. A section of media, unable to support TDP directly, which is fast losing its political relevance, has been spreading malicious campaign against YSR family.

At a time when TDP has given up and withdrawn from contest in ZPTC and MPTC polls, a section of media has been blowing up the remarks of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter out of proportion, she said in the letter here on Monday.

As the detractors are not able to give a build-up to TDP image, they have been targeting our family to cover their weakness whenever Chandrababu’s graph slips down. Even Pawan Kalyan toed his line. Such an exercise has been practised by yellow media ever since the demise of Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on September 2, 2009 and continues unabated, she said in the letter.

Chandrababu Naidu recently announced that TDP will not be contesting in MPTC and ZPTC elections after YSRCP won a landslide in recent Panchayat and Municipal polls. TDP and yellow media have been propagating false information, she said and added that people never believed in the false propaganda of yellow media which is why Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy and Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy received overwhelming response from them. As the yellow media is not able to convince people to support TDP, it has been targeting YSR family which is evident of unethical practices, she said.

The apprehensions of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter were being distorted by the yellow media but we are equally eager to bring the culprits to book expeditiously. It was Naidu who was in power for two and half months after the incident and suspicions were raised against Adinarayana Reddy, who was then minister in Naidu’s cabinet. Pawan Kalyan shared dias with Adinarayana Reddy, now in BJP, during Tirupati bypoll campaign criticised Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy despite knowing that the case is being investigated by CBI.

She slammed yellow media and TDP for spreading lies despite knowing that the murder attempt on Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was made in October 2018 and it was Naidu who was in power dealing with the case till May 2019 and it is central agencies investigating the case at present. Y.S. Jagan also wrote letters to the central government to expedite investigation in these cases.

She questioned Radhakrishna, how he could make such serious false allegations on their family?

Y.S. Vijayamma said that Sunita indeed demanded justice by punishing those who killed Vivekananda Reddy and asserted that she has the support of entire family. Responding to his writings, that someone had prevented Jagan from paying tribute to Vivekananda Reddy on his death anniversary, she clarified that Jagan Mohan Reddy himself told her to attend the event and added that a section of the media was intentionally trying to bring conflicts between my children. She slammed Radhakrishna for writing a series of false allegations on the family.

Further, YS Vijayamma said that it does not matter if their culture was not respected by TDP or their friendly media houses, but could not take these cheap writings degrading their family. It is clearly evident that Chandrababu is behind these writings and showcasing his sheer jealousy as he had been defeated in the recent polls.
