New Delhi, April 29: Senior advocate Harish Salve has put forth a strong argument in the Supreme Court, saying that Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was arrested only because of political reasons.
The noted lawyer produced evidences to show that the arrest was politically motivated. He had particularly mentioned about the statement of the union minister Kotla Surya Prakasha Reddy that Jagan would get bail only if he joined the Congress party.
He argued that a central minister stating that Jagan would get bail if he joined the Congress, meant that Jagan was jailed only because he differed with the Congress and came out of it.
After hearing the arguments of Salve, the supreme court posted the case to May 6. The court also directed the CBI to file its counter by then.
Jagan's wife Bharati Reddy and auditor Vijaya Sai Reddy were present when arguments of Harish Salve were heard by the bench headed by Justice Sadasivam. It is learnt that Bharati asked the CBI officials who were present in the court, about the progress n the investigation.
