The YSR Congress Party on Tuesday demanded a CBI or judicial probe into the recent attack on its chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy at Visakhapatnam airport and alleged that the incident was a "conspiracy" hatched by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Rubbishing the allegations, Andhra Pradesh chief minister's OSD for media affairs Telaprolu Srinivas Rao claimed that YSRCP leaders were trying to create unrest in the state.
The YSRCP alleged that the state police is "biased" in its investigation and is working as per the direction of the chief minister.
The party, however, asserted that Jagan, also is the leader of opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly, will continue his 'padayatra' across the state, undeterred by such attacks.
On October 25, Jagan was attacked by J Srinivas, who worked in a cafeteria at the airport.
Addressing the media here, YSRCP Rajya Sabha member V Vijaya Sai Reddy alleged: "The direct attack on Jagan is part of a big criminal conspiracy and was pre-planned. There is a suspicion that the CM was involved in the conspiracy."
Asked why Jagan took medical treatment in Hyderabad and not in Visakhapatnam, the party leaders said, "He took first aid at the airport and flew to Hyderabad for further treatment as there was threat to his life."
