AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah has garnered a lot of prominences. The meeting gained political significance with rumours are rife that CM Jagan has got some crucial information related to the previous government’s “corruption”.
After successfully completing the Reverse Tendering in Polavaram Irrigation Project, Jagan administration wants to prove that former CM Chandrababu Naidu has followed “corrupt practices” and hence it wants the intervention of Union Home Ministry to book Naidu.
It is speculated that Jagan would mount pressure on Shah to put Chandrababu behind the bars. It can also be noted that Jagan had cited the achievement of reverse tendering and saving of Rs 700 Crore public exchequer during his meeting with PM Modi early this month (Oct 5).
While TDP leaders continue to allege that CM Jagan is “desperate” for Amit Shah’s meeting as the former is trying to “compromise” with BJP in order to get relief from ongoing CBI cases against him. TDP leaders allege that Jagan is “dying” for BJP’s friendship. They are citing the ‘denial’ of Amit Shah’s appointment to Jagan for the last two times in this month.
While CMO and officials state that Jagan’s Delhi visit is purely apolitical and related to state’s issues, speculations surrounded Jagan’s Delhi visit with ruling and opposition leaders target one another. Only time will tell. For now, BJP has become the centre of attraction in AP politics.
