Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday alleged that the Congress high command was indulging in "witch-hunting" against him by dragging into court cases. "Congress' own minister writes an undated letter to the court. And then,TDP,along with Congress,impleads into the petition. Then,they start attacking me using the court as a venue. On the one side,you attack me with various departments after I moved out of the party. Income Tax,Enforcement.you name it," he told the electronic media. "I want to ask one simple question,when my dad was alive,why was not all these topics coming up. Why is it,as long as I was in Congress,why these things did not surface," Jagan,son of late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy,said. Asserting that Rajasekhara Reddy had contributed to the UPA government coming to power in 2004 and also in 2009 by ensuring substantial seats for the party in Andhra Pradesh,Jagan said his father is being attacked now. "You are attacking a dead man and that too two years after his death. That too,once his son left the Congress party. This vindictive,witch-hunting situation is visible here," he said. He asserted that YSR's padayatra brought back Congress to power in 2004 in addition to securing majority in Lok Sabha. Affirming that his late father did not deviate from the established practices,he said all the decisions taken during his tenure were collective. "Where has the whole Cabinet gone? Why is it that just one man being blamed. Somebody,who has done so much for Congress is being treated the way,he is being treated." Jagan starts 15-day 'Odarpu Yatra' in Krishna district Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy,MP and president of YSR Congress,kicked off his 15-day 'Odarpu Yatra' from Gouravaram village in Andhra Pradesh's Krishna district on Monday. He called on the family members of Maddula Krishna Rao who had died reportedly due to the shock after hearing the news of the death of former Chief Minister and Jagan's father Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash in September 2009. Jagan will visit all major towns in the district,party sources said. He would visit over 60 families during the tour. His Odarpu Yatras are meant for condoling the kin of those who had died due to the shock following YSR's death.
