YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has filed his bail petition in the CBI Special Court on Tuesday. In his petition, filed through his lawyer, Jagan had said that as the president of YSRCP he needed to campaign for the candidates in the ensuing by-elections and prayed for bail. Maintaining that his arrest was improper, he has asked the court to give him bail to enable him to campaign for his party candidates.
