It must be hard feeling for Y S Vijayalakshmi, widow of late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, to see her son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy going to Chanchalguda jail in the alleged illegal assets case.

She broke down at her Lotus Pond residence when she came to know about the CBI special court remanding Jagan to the judicial custody till June 11. So did the other family members of Jagan and they cursed the Congress leadership for getting the most popular leader of the state thrown behind the bars.

Vijayamma wanted to see her son in the top seat in the state, but she might have never expected that she would imagine him languishing in the jail along with other criminals. Though the court had granted him special prisoner status immediately, it was no solace for her, as Jagan would not be able to meet for an uncertain period, at least till he gets the bail.

Now that Vijayamma would lead the party’s campaign in the by-elections, she would go all out expose the conspiracy hatched by the Congress party at all levels to harass his son.
