Jagan Alleged in illegal Mining Case

YSR Congress party chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy's alleged business links with former Karnataka minister and jailed mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy have come under the scanner of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which has summoned the Kadapa MP for questioning in the illegal mining case. The agency is probing an alleged nexus between Mr. Jagan and Janardhana Reddy whose company Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) has been accused of violating mining norms in the Ananthpuram district of Andhra Pradesh, CBI sources said. CBI has recently questioned the then cabinet colleagues of the late Rajasekhara Reddy in connection with the mining scam as it found that mining leases for OMC were cleared in an unusual haste, they said. Janardhana Reddy and his brother-in-law B.V. Srinivasa Reddy are currently in a jail here in the illegal mining case.
