Congress MLA from Kadapa district Veera Siva Reddy said that Jagan Mohan Reddy has betrayed Gali Janardhan Reddy. Responding on the arrest of Gali Janardhan Reddy and his brother in law Srinivas Reddy, Siva Reddy wondered on Jagan Mohan Reddy's statement diassociating himself fro Gali Janardhan Reddy.

Speaking to the reporters at CLP office yesterday, Veera Siva Reddy said that Jagan Mohan Reddy benefitted a lot with the Gali Brothers and was hand in glove with them in the illegal mining activity. He reminded that at the time of inauguration of Brahmani Steels, it was the same Gali Janardhan Reddy who gifted a hi-tech bus worth Rs 5 crore to the then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. He said Jagan's latest stance on Gali must be a lesson for all the MLAs who are supporting him. If the MLAs face any problem in future, then Jagan would not even identify them.

Siva Reddy said the MLAs must reconsider their decision and return to Congress fold. "Jagan will distance himself and not even identity KVP Ramachandra Rao, YSR's ex-advisor, if he is named in some scam. This speaks a lot about an individual's character," he said. He ridiculed the claim of YSR Congress party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu that more than 70 MLAs would join Jagan's camp and resign to their post. "Even the 26 MLAs were regretting their decision and might quit the Jagan's camp instead of resigning from their assembly membership," he added.
