The chariot-fire case in Andhra has stirred up the government of Jagan Mohan Reddy. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has resolved to hand over the inquiry into the blaze that devastated the chariot of the Antarvedi Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple to the CBI keeping with the policy of transparency in governance. This decision was taken in order to know the cause of the fire.

The Chief Minister has directed the Director-General of Police (DGP) to hand over the case to the premier investigation agency. Following the instructions, the DGP’s office has written a letter to this effect to the Union home ministry.  Officials informed that a letter to this effect will shortly be issued on the matter. Opposition parties and Telugu Desam chief N. Chandrababu Naidu had been demanding a CBI scrutiny. The CM has taken the subject of the fire seriously and while the state police have been trying their best, there was a judgment from political and other groups calling accusations on the government.

No one would be forgiven and severe action would be taken against those involved, irrespective of their position, was the stand of the government. In the meantime, YSRC MLA and party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said that there is no indifference of the government in the Antarvedi incident as the government had initiated swift measures. He said earlier Naidu had no confidence in CBI and had banned the agency during his tenure but now he is distrusting the AP police and had started believing the CBI which shows his political opportunism.
