the central Bureau of Investigation appears to be going overboard in its investigation into the alleged illegal assets case of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy so much so that it is even questioning the wisdom of voters who had voted for his party in the recent by-elections.
At a time when even the defeated candidates of the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party accepted the people’s verdict rather gracefully, the CBI advocates were audacious enough to tell the high court on Wednesday that the Jagan party candidates had won 15 seats because of gullible and innocent voters.
“Jagan is feeling as if he is already a Chief Minister. Just because innocent people voted for his party, it does not mean they have given him clean chit in the corruption case,” the CBI counsel said.
High court judge Govindarajulu took strong exception to these observations.
“Your comments are highly objectionable. You are not supposed to undervalue the judgement of voters. Please refrain from making such statements,” he said, pulling up the CBI counsel.
