Replying to questions,he suggested that no political meaning should be attached to the release as law had taken its own course in the matter.

To Chandrababu Naidu’s statement indicating a tie-up between Congress and Jagan,Chacko took a dig at the TDP chief,saying,”First,Naidu should tell what is his nexus. In the morning,he is with Rajnath Singh and in the evening with

Prakash Karat. People will be interested in knowing his nexus.”

He,however,evaded a query on the possibility of Congress tying up with Jagan. He remarked that elections are far away and there are many things to be decided.
