Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has written to Chief Justice of India SA Bobde taking a serious objection to the way in which a senior judge of the Supreme Court was influencing the Andhra Pradesh High Court in favour of the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
In an eight-page letter to the CJI dated October 6 but released to the media organisations on Saturday, Jagan alleged that Supreme Court judge NV Ramana of trying to destabilise the one-year-old government on behalf of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by former CM Chandrababu Naidu.
That the AP Chief Minister wrote a letter to the CJI was disclosed by Ajeya Kallam, Chief Advisor to Government of Andhra Pradesh, in a press conference in Vijayawada. The copies of the letter with its annexure were later circulated to all media organisations.
According to Kallam, the Andhra Pradesh government believed that Justice Ramana has played a crucial role in swaying judicial appointments in the state courts, which Reddy believes was done to swing decisions in favour of TDP leaders who are facing multiple corruption charges. He claimed that the Jagan Reddy government has established through a probe that former chief minister Naidu and many others associated with his party had amassed “huge wealth” by “illegal means”.
