Tadepalli, June 6: Former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed Naidu’s governance collapsing law and order in the state.
Taking to X, Jagan conveyed that he is deeply shocked and pained by the complete collapse of law and order under Chandrababu Naidu’s governance. The systems in our state have been rendered ineffective due to the political vendettas and criminal actions of Chandrababu Naidu and his party leaders. The arrogance and rowdyism of the ruling party have created an atmosphere of fear, leaving no safety or security for our people. The police machinery has been manipulated, leading to incidents that are shameful and alarming.
In Srikalahasti, Tirupati district, when a constable issued a challan to the driver of the MLA’s wife for driving under the influence of alcohol, the MLA had the same driver assaulted the constable in the presence of the Circle Inspector. Instead of taking action, the police tried to hush it up. If a policeman has no protection, how can we expect ordinary citizens to feel safe?
In YSR district’s Khajipeta mandal, Dumpalagattu, our YSRCP activist Reddy Shiva Lakshminarayana was falsely charged with possessing ganja for refusing to pay a bribe, brutally beaten, and jailed for two months. Unable to bear the humiliation, he took his own life, leaving his 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter destitute. I ask, who is responsible for this injustice? What action is being taken against those who drove him to such a tragic end? Had the system worked, this tragedy would not have happened.
In Kurnool district’s Orvakallu mandal, Meedivemula village, our former MPTC member Ramesh Naidu was brutally murdered, stabbed and bludgeoned, by TDP members for his active role in YSRCP programs addressing public issues. Is this the fate of those who work democratically for the people? Could effective police surveillance not have prevented this?
Equally horrific is the gang assault on a 9th-grade Dalit girl in Edu Gurrakulapalli village, Sri Sathya Sai district. TDP members intimidated her family, stopping them from filing a complaint, and with the accused backed by the ruling party, the fatherless family was forced to flee their village while the police stood by as spectators. These incidents are not isolated, they show a system where the law is mocked, justice is denied, and the accused, shielded by the ruling party, walk free. I warn Chandrababu Naidu: if you do not change your ways, the people will not stay silent forever.
The YSRCP will fight tirelessly to ensure justice for the victims,” he said
