*Jungle Raj under Chandrababu rule: Ambati*

Tadepalli, June 15: YSRCP Guntur District President and former minister Ambati Rambabu stated that Andhra Pradesh has witnessed two years of “Jungle Raj” under the Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition, where criticism is met with cases, dissent is silenced through arrests, and democratic institutions are being replaced by a “Red Book Constitution.” He said coalition MLAs have become unchecked power centres, controlling illegal sand, land, liquor, mining, gambling, and ration mafias while enjoying complete political protection.
Ambati said Denduluru MLA Chintamaneni Prabhakar’s midnight attack on TDP Legal Cell State Vice-President Advocate Edupuganti Srinivas exposed the collapse of law and order. Srinivas was targeted for exposing liquor, mining, and corruption networks, yet the victim faced police action while no case was registered against the MLA. He demanded answers from Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and Home Minister Anitha over the incident. 
He stated that the coalition government is panicking because YSRCP continues to expose irregularities in Amaravati and the DSC-2025 recruitment process, forcing the government to block the official YSRCP Facebook page in India instead of answering criticism.
Ambati also raised the case of Kapu youth Gade Sai Krishna, stating that he was taken into custody by Krishnalanka Police, died in lock-up after custodial torture, and his body was secretly cremated to destroy evidence. He said the victim’s mother had approached the High Court through a habeas corpus petition after police failed to reveal her son’s whereabouts, while attempts were being made to settle the matter through compensation. He questioned Pawan Kalyan’s silence over the death of a Jana Sena supporter and said governments cannot eliminate citizens in custody while claiming to uphold the rule of law.
