Vijayasai to file defamation suit against KV Rao, Naidu

YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP V Vijayasai Reddy launched a sharp attack on TDP chief and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, accusing him of engaging in vendetta politics against former Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy over the development and welfare of Andhra Pradesh. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Vijayasai Reddy alleged that Chandrababu’s administration is primarily focused on harassing YSRCP leaders, including YS Jagan.
“Chandrababu Naidu’s actions indicate a loss of mental balance. He is not focused on the state’s development but is fixated on targeting YS Jagan. During the TDP-led NDA rule, the state saw no progress. Instead of addressing governance issues, he keeps creating distractions with baseless allegations,” Vijayasai remarked.
He also raised questions about the issuance of lookout notices against him, saying, “What is the need for lookout notices against me? I will file a defamation suit against KV Rao and Chandrababu Naidu for their unfounded accusations.”
Vijayasai Reddy criticised Chandrababu for privatising the Kakinada Port, claiming it was initially developed with funds from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). “Chandrababu handed over the public sector port to private interests, pretending it was sold to the son of Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad. In reality, it was transferred to KV Rao through backdoor deals. Rao was unjustly appointed as CMD. There should be an investigation into the Kakinada Port transactions since 1997, not by the CID, which is under Chandrababu’s control, but by the CBI,” Vijayasai demanded.
