YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday accused the family members and loyalists of Energy Minister K. Kala Venkata Rao of indulging in large-scale corruption in Etchela Assembly constituency and other places.

“The Minister’s supporters had grabbed government land and later received compensation as part of the land acquisition process for the Kovvada atomic power plant in the district,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said while addressing a public meeting organised as part of his Praja Sankalpa Yatra at Chilkapalem junction, and exhorted people to defeat Mr. Venkata Rao in the general elections next year.

Referring to Ambedkar University, he said the institution had lost its importance with lack of facilities. He claimed that the institution had been provided all infrastructure when Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy was the Chief Minister. It was ignored completely by the TDP government, he alleged.

YSRCP leaders congratulated Mr. Reddy on his yatra reaching the 3,400-km mark at Etcherla.
