YSR Congress General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayasai Reddy said he will file a defamation case against Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and KV Rao for making false and baseless allegations against him regarding Kakinada Port and SEZ transactions.
Addressing a press meet, Vijayasai Reddy said Naidu has been conspiring to tarnish his reputation by using KV Rao as a front to file fabricated cases. Vijayasai Reddy said that KV Rao is a broker and a close associate of Naidu, being used to spread lies about the YSRCP leader. He clarified that the claims of threats and illegal deals involving Kakinada Port are entirely false. He questioned why Rao, who spends most of his time abroad, chose to make these accusations after over four years of silence.
Criticizing the lookout notices issued against him, Vijayasai Reddy called them politically motivated and aimed at defaming him. He emphasized that Naidu is using these tactics to mislead the public and cover up his own failures.
He said the defamation suit, to be filed in the High Court next week, will expose Naidu’s vendetta politics and Rao’s dubious role. Vijayasai Reddy further stated that Naidu’s focus on false narratives instead of governance is harming the state. He warned that Naidu will face legal and political consequences for his actions, and assured that the YSRCP will hold him accountable when it returns to power.
