YSRCP leader and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly denied allegations of bribery linked to solar power purchases involving the Adani Group. Reddy emphasized that his name was not mentioned in the US court's indictment and dismissed the accusations as hearsay.

Addressing the media, Reddy clarified his meetings with the Adani Group were not unusual and insisted there were no incentives directed at him. He depicted the allegations as baseless and asserted that no evidence linked him to accepting bribes.

The agreements in question were between Andhra Pradesh DISCOMS and the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), with no third-party involvement, Reddy stated.
