"Children feel very bad. It has been very difficult for us," she said on 15 months without Jagan.
A symbol of grit and determination, Bharathi visits her husband regularly and coordinates with the legal team defending him.
An articulate spokesperson for her husband, she rubbished allegations that he amassed wealth through quid-pro-quo investments into his companies when his father was chief minister. She pointed out that Jagan was a businessman long before he became an MP in 2009.
With the CBI completing its probe, the case has reached a climax. The family is hopeful of his release on bail in the coming days but till then, the three women are determined to continue playing their roles.
