We learn that the Election Commission (EC) is set to file a case in the Andhra High Court against Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR) within the next fortnight for suppression of facts. The case dates back to 2004. Mr.Reddy, we are told, hid the fact that he owns eleven acres of land in his affidavit. YSR has often been in the thick of controversy and is also expected to face a hostile media.
The EC appears to have taken note of a false affidavit filed by YSR before the Returning Officer from Pulivendula Assembly Constituency on March 31, 2004. This follows a complaint against YSR by Nara Chandrababu Naidu, former Chief Minister, dated
December 19, 2006.
This time, YSR will find it difficult time to wriggle out of thiscivil case, as it is liable to six months imprisonment on the charge of concealment of facts.
Moreover, the EC recently directed its Chief Election Officer at Tamil Nadu to file a similar case against former Chief Minister, Jayalalitha, for suppression of facts and a false affidavit under the same section 177 IPC.
