Y.S. Bharathi Reddy, wife of jailed YS Jagan believes that her husband Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy is not in jail for an year because of corruption but because both the Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) don’t want him to be among people.

The political fortunes of the Congress and TDP depend on him being in or out (of prison) she says adding that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was deliberately prolonging the case to keep him in jail.

“In October, CBI said they need three months (to complete investigation). After eight months when we went to the Supreme Court, the CBI said they need another four months. The court said okay we will give four months and then the CBI said we will find grounds for seeking more time. What kind of investigation is this?” she asked.

The 34-year-old Bharathi, who is looking after the family business in the absence of her husband, claims people had made up their mind to make Jagan chief minister when his father YSR died in a helicopter crash in September 2009.

“People see Jagan as a sincere leader fighting for them. If they don’t bring Jagan out, it will be a clean sweep for YSRCP.

On allegations that YSR and Jagan looted public wealth, Bharthi said her husband had nothing to do with the government ordres.
