Reliance outlets in AP attacked after report on YSR death
BS Reporter / Hyderabad Jan 08, 2010, 00:47 IST
A number of Reliance Retail outlets in Andhra Pradesh today came under simultaneous mob attack after a news report on some Telugu channels alleged the role of the Ambani brothers in the sudden death of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in a chopper crash last year.
Reliance Retail is a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL).
The incident occurred after 7 pm when a local television channel started airing that a Russian web magazine, The Exiled, had speculated that there could be a conspiracy behind Reddy’s death, as he had stressed that the gas find by RIL in the Krishna-Godavari basin was a national asset and the Ambani brothers, including their mother Kokilaben, had no right to distribute it between them.
As the report was immediately picked up by other television channels, people fanned out across the state and vented their anger on the Reliance Retail outlets. Congress activists have also called for a bandh in several parts of the state on Friday.
The government had asked the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) to probe the circumstances leading to the death of Reddy. The CBI is yet to conclude its investigations.
Some channel reports nonsense. We, the people, believe it. That leads to chaos but no one actually knows what the truth is. Cant we be a bit disciplined? Cm' on people, its high time now... Think and Act, please.
drama, drama, more drama.. in such a way no one know's whats truth.
State is already in a turmoil. Now, more bundhs, more buses to burn..
Leave facts to investigators..
Probably this is good news for those crooked politicians, opportunistic media, mindless over-exited viewers who watch news over TV just for the heck of it without using their brain.
Oh yes I forgot to mention, fanatic followers, educated fools, who only like to break things on road for no reason.
This is bad news only for those daily wage labors, educated middle class professionals, and the reliance franchisee owners who neither have anything to do with the news, except to repay for their broken stock and furniture.
Wheres the end!!
Clearly Ambanis learnt the helicopter trick from some one who placed stones in Anil's helicopter and the culprit was killed at a railway track. They used the same murder style on YSR. This is a pure plot of Amabanis to usurp oil and gas in AP.
