TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh commented on Twitter that Y.S. Sharmila’s statement to the CBI on former MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder vindicated his party’s stand that the involvement of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the conspiracy cannot be ruled out.

Mr. Lokesh said it was evident from Ms. Sharmila’s affirmation that the murder could be due to differences between Vivekananda Reddy and Y.S. Avinash Reddy over the latter’s wish to contest for membership of the Parliament from Kadapa and the dispute escalating to Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy. 

The TDP leader has posted the message that Ms. Sharmila made it clear that her brother (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy) might be complicit in the crime.
