Jagan assures support to MDU operators
Tadepalli: YSRCP president and Former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy met representatives of the Mobile Dispensing Unit (MDU) Union from Krishna district at the party's central office here, where they expressed anguish over the TDP-led coalition government's decision to dismantle the MDU system. This move has stripped livelihoods from nearly 9,260 operators and 10,000 helpers' families, leaving them in distress. Jagan assured steadfast support, declaring, 'YSRCP will stand by MDU operators and fight to restore their dignity and livelihoods.' P Shyam Babu, President of the MDU Union, Krishna district, condemned the government for crippling the public distribution system, alleging that ration rice is now being diverted to the black market, with dealers caught red-handed. 'The government falsely blamed MDUs for rice pilferage, but their own ration shops are failing the public. People face endless queues and server issues, while our vehicle loans remain unpaid,' he stated. Shyam Babu praised Jagan for launching the MDU system, which empowered thousands of families to deliver essentials door-to-door. 'We shared our plight with the former chief minister and YSRCP chief, and he promised to support us unequivocally,' he added.

AP: YSRCP women leaders protest in Nellore over
Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 10 (ANI): YSRCP women leaders held a massive protest in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district, alleging rising incidence of atrocities on women under the TDP-led government in the State. They raised slogans against the government, expressing their strong opposition. District Women's Wing President Lakshmi Sunanda stated that since the coalition government came to power, many innocent women have been subjected to atrocities. She alleged that the government has failed to provide protection to women. 'Despite having a woman as the Home Minister, incidents of crimes against women continue to occur every day. We want the state government to take immediate action against the attacks on women,' Sunanda said. Meanwhile, YSRCP President and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly condemned the arrest of senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao and the 'organised' attacks on Sakshi media offices across the state, calling it a deliberate and orchestrated assault on democracy. In a statement posted on X, Jagan said that Chandrababu Naidu is twisting and misrepresenting words that Kommineni never said, just to implicate him and justify an unlawful arrest falsely. He alleged that as part of a pre-planned conspiracy, TDP-led mobs have vandalised Sakshi unit offices in several districts under the guise of protecting women's dignity. 'This is nothing but a political vendetta masked as concern for women,' Jagan stated. Referring to past remarks by Chandrababu and his brother-in-law, Jagan questioned their moral standing. 'You once asked whether a daughter-in-law prefers her mother-in-law over her husband. Your brother-in-law even said that when you see a girl, you should either kiss her or make her are your standards when it comes to respecting women,' he said. Jagan accused Chandrababu of completely failing to provide safety and justice to women and girls since returning to power. He highlighted the tragic case of Tanmayi, an intermediate student from Anantapur who went missing and was later found brutally murdered, with 'no swift action taken by authorities'. He also pointed to the horrifying case in Ramagiri mandal of Sri Sathya Sai district, where a 9th class girl was blackmailed and raped by 14 men for six months, yet police did not act on her complaint due to fear tactics and negligence. 'In just one year of TDP rule, 188 women and girls were raped, and 15 of them were murdered after the assault. Hundreds of cases of harassment and violence have gone unpunished,' Jagan said, calling it a complete breakdown of law and order. He also said that the TDP regime has destroyed education, healthcare, agriculture, and public safety. 'You gave fake promises like 'Super Six' and 'Super Seven' to win votes, but once in power, you betrayed every single promise. People now see you as a failed, corrupt, and incompetent Chief Minister.' YS Jagan concluded by saying that to escape accountability, Chandrababu is using fake news factories and media manipulation to spread lies and divert attention. 'Your diversion politics won't work forever, Chandrababu garu. People are watching, and they will hold you accountable.' (ANI) .
