Former MP Vivekananda Reddy's wife pens letter to Andhra Pradesh CM seeking justice

AMARAVATI: YS Sowbhagya, the wife of former MP YS Vivekananda Reddy who was allegedly killed in 2019, today penned a letter to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, seeking justice and righteousness in her husband's murder case.

"Is it appropriate for you to protect those who are behind of murder, to make your newspaper, your TV channel, your social media and your party groups talk in extreme form and torture us in an unspeakable manner?" Sowbhagya said in the letter.

Sowbhagya even attacked Reddy for people making fun of those fighting for justice and attacking them.

"If some people degenerate to the level of making fun of your sisters who are fighting for justice, blaming and even attacking them, don't you care?" he asked.

Amid the accused in the Vivekananda murder case filing nomination for the polls, Sowbhagya asked the Chief Minister to stand for justice.

"As the accused in the murder has filed a nomination, as a last resort, I am praying before you to think of justice and righteousness. As the Chief Minister of the state who has taken an oath to govern without hatred, I am begging you to stand for justice, righteousness, and truth," Sowbhagya said.

Andhra Pradesh has 25 Lok Sabha seats. In the 2019 Assembly elections, the YSRCP won with a thumping majority of 151 seats, while the TDP was confined to 23 seats. In the Lok Sabha polls, the YSRCP won 22 seats, while the TDP could only win three seats.
