Now that the Supreme Court has struck down the petition of YSR Congress party honorary president Y S Vijayalakshmi against Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu charging him with amassing illegal assets, there is a debate going on in the media circles as to whether she would continue to pursue the case.

The Supreme Court, while dismissing her petition, suggested that she can approach the police and other investigating agencies in the state with her complaint against Naidu and others. Only if she does not get justice with the investigating agencies, she can approach the court of law, the Supreme Court bench said.

So, Vijayamma has the option of pursuing the case against Naidu by approaching either the Anti-Corruption Bureau or the state police. But one doubts whether she will use this option, as there may not be much use with such a complaint at a time when the entire system is working in favour of Naidu. “When she could not get justice in the court, one is doubtful whether the ACB or the other police wings would conduct any impartial probe against Naidu. So, it is better to drop the case and take the fight into the people's court,” an analyst observed.
