Several Congress leaders on Tuesday demanded a thorough probe into the assets of Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, which were allegedly amassed during the last one-and-half-a-years when the entire world was reeling under a financial meltdown.
Amalapuram Lok Sabha member G V Harsha Kumar asked his colleague Jagan to come out with details of his income, nature of business, and how long he had been in the business. "Since Jaganmohan Reddy is an elected member of the party, he should dispel all the doubts generated by his huge advanced income tax. He owes an explanation to the people of the country," Harsha Kumar told the media in New Delhi.
Saying that the growth in his assets coincided with the period of his father's chief ministership, Harsha Kumar said Jagan's earning should not bring disrepute to the party in the state. "I ask Jagan to make public the details of his assets and explain how he amassed such a vast property in such a short period of time," the MP told TOI from Delhi.
In Hyderabad, senior Congress leader Palwai Goverdhan Reddy also wondered how Jagan could accumulate such a vast wealth in a matter of two to three years. "Jaganmohan Reddy should reveal his sources of income and explain the reasons for the disproportionate growth in his tax payment in the past three years," he said.
Senior Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao urged the income tax department to probe the sources of Jagan's income. He also urged Jagan to disclose the secrets of his success in business for the benefit of the people of this country. "If Jagan could tell how he succeeded in business, the people could follow his advice and become rich. This way, poverty can be eliminated in the country," he told the media in Delhi.
