YSRCP condemns MP Midhun Reddy’s arrest

Tadepalli, July 19:  YSR Congress Party strongly condemned the arrest of Lok Sabha MP and Party floor leader P.V. Mithun Reddy, calling it a clear case of political vendetta by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. 
In a press statement, former ministers Botsa Satyanarayana, Perni Venkatramaiah (Nani), Ambati Rambabu, Merugu Nagarjuna, and party general secretary G. Srikanth Reddy expressed serious concerns over the misuse of power to target opposition leaders.
They said, the arrest made after a full day of interrogation under the so-called liquor scam case, shows how far Chandrababu is willing to go to suppress dissent. The leaders noted that such actions will not last long and that the public continues to support YSRCP more strongly than ever. 
They warned that the ruling party cannot stop YSRCP by using fabricated cases or forced arrests.
The leaders further said that the liquor scam is entirely based on fabricated evidence and forced confessions. 
They recalled that between 2014 and 2019, it was Chandrababu Naidu’s government that committed several irregularities in liquor sales. Now, to divert attention from those cases, a false narrative has been built and arrests are being made based solely on statements taken under pressure.
They clarified that during the YSRCP government, the liquor policy was transparent and handled directly by the state. The number of liquor shops was reduced, and belt shops and permit rooms were removed. 
They vowed to continue standing with the people and fighting against such political conspiracies with courage and determination.
