Why Sonia Gandhi House is not raided?

With the Central Bureau of Investigation going deep into the allegations of illegal investments into the companies of YSR Congress party president Y S Jagamohan Reddy, the party is making all out efforts to counter these corruption charges against him.

While pro-Jagan Congress MPs and MLAs, besides party leaders like Ambati Rambabu are effectively using the debates in the electronic media to voice their concern over his witch-hunting, his otherwise silent mother Y S Vijayalakshmi used the mother sentiment to hit back at his rivals in the Congress party.

She wrote a letter to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh on Saturday, making a scathing attack on the Centre and the Congress party for the political vendetta against Jagan.

“It is evident that the CBI raids are politically motivated. You have attributed corruption charges even against Anna Hazare; it shows that whoever is against the Congress will be subject to harassment,” she said.

Vijayamma wondered why the CBI had not raided the houses of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi while probing the Bofors case; and that of former chief minister of Maharashtra in Adarsh scam? And why did the CBI not act with such seriousness and arrested Botsa Satyanarayana in connection with Volkswagen scam?” she asked.
