Vijayawada, Feb 20: A YSR Congress Party delegation led by Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Botsa Satyanarayana met Governor Justice Abdul Nazeer at Raj Bhavan and complained about the lapses in security of former Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
After meeting the Governor, Botsa Satyanarayana spoke to the media and expressed serious concerns over the state government negligence in providing security to YS Jagan during his visit to Guntur Mirchi Yard. He accused the state government of acting with political vendetta and deliberately creating a security risk. He also revealed that the Governor was surprised by the police inaction and assured them of an inquiry.
Botsa questioned how the police could use the election code as an excuse for withdrawing security while providing full protection for the "Sangeeta Vibhavari" a few days ago in the city. He said this showed the government’s biased approach. He warned that if anything happens to YS Jagan, the government and senior police officials, including the IG and SP, will be held responsible.
He also criticized the government for failing to support farmers, stating that chilli farmers are suffering huge losses due to falling prices. He added that while the previous YSRCP government provided regular financial assistance to farmers, the current coalition government has abandoned them.
The YSRCP delegation included former ministers Ambati Rambabu, Merugu Nagarjuna, Velampalli Srinivas, Karumuru Nageswara Rao, and MLCs Lella Appireddy and M. Arun Kumar. They demanded immediate action to restore YS Jagan’s security and ensure the law is upheld without political bias.
