Macherla, Andhra Pradesh:
Kadapa MP and YSR Congress President Y S Jaganmohan has launched a frontal attack on ruling Congress and main opposition Telugu Desam Party accusing them of hatching a conspiracy, in concert with CBI, to have him arrested in next 3 to 4 days in disproportionate assets case.
"It is being talked about that I will be arrested by CBI in 3-4 days. It's all part of a large conspiracy by Congress, TDP and CBI", he charged.
Addresing a by-election campaign rally in Jammalamadaka in Macherla assembly constituencies, Jagan alleged "their game plan is to get me arrested and create violence in the state and stop the by-elections (slated for June 12)".
Both Congress and TDP fear losing their deposits in the by-elections (to 18 Assembly constituencies and one Lok Sabha seat) and hence were trying to stall the bypoll process by fomenting unrest in the state, Jagan alleged.
He said Congress and TDP "want to create a law and order problem across the state after my arrest and push the blame on me".
A special court declined to grant exemption to Jagan from personal appearance in the disproportionate assets case and directed him to comply with the summons issued recently.
Jagan, who is busy campaigning for his party candidates in the bypolls, will cut short his tour and appear in the court on May 28.
The party led by Jagan is drawing strategies in the event of Jagan's arrest, party sources said.
