YSR Congress Party official spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said that if it is fit to reopen Paritala Murder case, all political murders that took place in the State, including that of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga should be reopened. He recalled that NTR, Chandrababu Naidu and the then Home Minister and present Speaker Kodela Siva Prasada Rao were accused of master-minding the murder and were later cleared of the charges.Speaking to newsmen here today, he recalled that TDP leaders also faced the charges of eliminating IAS officer Raghavendra Rao in heart of Vijayawada city besides journalist Pingali Dasaratharam and Mallela Babji, whose exit was as dramatic as his entry in a bid to assassinate NTR. These are all bygone things and courts have disposed of the cases. The Government can reopen all the cases, if it likes to, but the real intention is only to divert and deviate from the main issue, he added.
He lamented that the diversionary tactics of TDP government were wide open inside and outside the Assembly with the treasury benches bringing in the Paritala Ravi murder issue when the discussion on current law and order situation was taken up which shows the evasive nature of the Government, he added.He deplored that TDP MLA Paritala Suneetha has echoed what was told in the Assembly, by bringing up Paritala Ravi’s murder issue with a threat that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s role will be known if the case is reopened. He felt that this is speaking absolutely out of the box as the case was discussed threadbare in the Assembly, an inquiry was held, and the courts have heard the matter after which YSR and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy have been absolved of all the charges.
Castigating TDP for constantly trying to find new ways to divert the attention of the people from questioning its failure of waving loans of farmers and women groups, has said that the government has been raking up bygone issues only to cover up its inefficiency and reaffirmed that it will continue to pursue the matter and serve as voice of the people.He alleged that while the Government has miserably failed to fulfill even a single election promise after assuming office, the ruling Party has been trying to gag the voice of the opposition which has been persistently being questioning on behalf of the people. “When YSR Congress Party has given notice for a discussion on law and order situation, as scores of our Party leaders and workers were murdered, the treasury benches deliberately brought in irrelevant and closed issues to sidestep the main issue”, he added.
