Retired DGP-rank IPS officer AB Venkateswara Rao, who was severely harassed during YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s regime with suspension twice and kept him waiting without a post or salary, has announced his political entry on Sunday.
Recalling that he had said during his retirement that he would work for the society as long as he could, he announced that he was entering politics as per that promise. He toured Mummidivaram and Amalapuram in Ambedkar Konaseema district on Sunday.
Rao visited Janupalli Srinu, an accused on bail in the attack case on YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, in Thanelanka, Mummidivaram mandal. He spoke to Srinu and inquired about various matters. On this occasion, he personally asked Kodi Kathi Srinu about many things.
Later, speaking to the media, he made it clear that he will begin his political journey by doing his best to get justice for Kodi Kathi Srinu as a first step. He criticized Jagan for giving a big shot to those who commit irregularities and for dividing people into castes and communities for his own selfish interests. He said that he will expose irregularities and injustices and will stand by Jagan’s victims.
However, he made it clear that he is fighting beyond parties and sought the support of the people to make this legal fight successful. He expressed regret that Srinu had to serve more than three rates of punishment due to the mistake made by him.
He stated that in this case, Srinu was unable to go to any job for employment on bail. He expressed his regret that the boy’s future has been ruined due to this. The former state intelligence chief was furious that many lies have been written in this Kodi Kathi case.
He reminded that it has been six years since the charge sheet was filed and the investigation of this case has not been completed yet. Venkateswara Rao has come under fire from YS Jagan for obstructing the progress of this case by filing cases on cases as part of the investigation.
He said that this case has been transferred from Vijayawada to Visakhapatnam and there are still no arguments in this case due to the stay. He said that the investigation of the Kodi Kathi case has not started due to the stay. He believed that the crime in this case needs to be proven. Otherwise, this case should be dismissed.
