YSRCP leader and former Minister, Anil Kumar Yadav, recently criticized Andhra Jyothy editor Radhakrishna, who had published articles that portrayed Yadav in a negative light.
In response to the articles, Yadav defended himself, saying he had not been involved in any extortion or criminal activity during his 12 years in politics and three years in power.
He accused ABN of publishing demeaning articles without verifying the facts, claiming that if such articles had been published about TDP leaders, they would be labeled as YSRCP's targetting BCs.
"Aren't we BCs", Yadav questioned.
Yadav went on to accuse Radhakrishna of being a broker, with Mahesh being one of his cronies who had invested a large sum of money in land.
He alleged that Radhakrishna had taken 10 crore to create chaos in the YSRCP of the region by pulling out the YSRCP's sitting MLA Kotamreddy to join TDP. Yadav also said that nobody was intimidated by Radhakrishna's writing, and that he did not care about it.
The controversy surrounding Kotamreddy's case has now led to discussions about the 10 crore deal involving ABN Radhakrishna.
