Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) [India] June 15 : After meeting former Andhra Pradesh minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy at the district central jail, senior YSRCP leader Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy spoke to the media stated that illegal cases have been filed against Govardhan Reddy, and he has been arrested without justification.
"We are witnessing a situation in this state that has never occurred before political leaders are being issued PT (Prisoner Transit) warrants as if they were criminals. I have been elected as an MLA seven times, but I have never seen such circumstances.Even Chandrababu Naidu will not be spared from these kinds of situations in the future. The government is behaving in an undemocratic and vindictive manner," said Ramachandra Reddy.
Former Dharmavaram MLA Kethireddy Venkatarami Reddy stated that false and fabricated cases are being filed across the state. This is not a good tradition, and those who are promoting it will not be able to escape its consequences. For the next four years, we will have to face cases that's certain.
Since they cannot develop schools and hospitals, they should at least improve the jails.
These prisons might be useful to them in the future.
Meanwhile, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Women President and MLC Varudu Kalyani slammed the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh as the coalition government completed one year of its rule in the state. She hit out at the government over safety issues, alleging failed promises, and scheme cuts.
Speaking at a round table meeting organised today to discuss the impact of one year of NDA coalition rule, YSRCP MLC Varudu Kalyani highlighted several key concerns regarding women's welfare and safety under the current government.
She stated, "This meeting was focused on the welfare of women and the increasing atrocities against women under the NDA coalition government. Many women participants expressed their deep disappointment, saying they had trusted and voted for the coalition parties, only to be betrayed. Not a single major promise made by the current government has been fulfilled, and women's safety has been completely neglected. On average, 70 to 80 cases of atrocities against women are being reported every day in Andhra Pradesh. This alone reflects the deteriorating condition of law and order in the state."
She further added, "In the last one year, the coalition government hasn't even conducted a single review on women's safety. In contrast, during our YSRCP government, CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy gave top priority to women's safety and implemented 99 per cent of the promises made to the people. Our police were deployed to protect citizens and implement welfare schemes. But today, they are being misused to frame false cases against YSRCP leaders instead of ensuring women's safety."
