Raghuram Krishnam Raju has now spoke about his friendship with the late Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy while he served as the Chief Minister of United Andhra Pradesh. Recalling a few incidents, Raghuram Krishnam Raju said that he was quite close to YSR, and that the late YSR had great respect for his friend Chandrababu Naidu.
Raghuram Krishnam Raju said that once YSR had come across a Sreedhar cartoon of Chandrababu Naidu’s, where he is watching YSR’s swearing-in ceremony from a corner, surrounded by a trash can and a dog. While Raghuram Krishnam Raju had laughed at the cartoon, YSR didn’t like it and said that it was wrong to depict a political veteran who served as the Chief Minister of the state that way.
Raghuram Krishnam Raju has also said that YSR’s very first swearing-in ceremony was conducted on May 14, the birth date of Raghuram Krishnam Raju. He said that YSR had decided to swear-in on May 14th, on Raghuram Krishnam Raju’s request.
Currently, Raghuram Krishnam Raju is having quite a few differences with his party, so much so that a few members of the party had gone to Delhi to meet with the speaker of the Lok Sabha to discuss Raghuram Krishnam Raju’s disqualification.
Raghuram Krishnam Raju has written an in-detail letter to Chief Minister Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy, explaining every comment he made against the party, and every action of his. The Chief Minister is yet to respond to the letter.
