Sitaram Yechury, politburo member of Communist Party of India-Marxist and A B Bardhan, general secretary of Communist Party of India, also joined the call for a probe against Reddy.

"Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is against this kind of capitalism. The prime minister must act at the earliest," Yechury said.
