Jagan again warns TDP, police of ‘consequences'
Speaking at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli on Wednesday, he warned that when YSRCP returns to power, TDP and 'errant' officials will face consequences for their actions.
Reddy asserted that YSRCP is the only party standing with the people, addressing grievances of farmers, women, youth, students, and employees, while the state lacks constitutional governance and rule of law. He accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of betraying public trust with unfulfilled promises and using police powers to silence dissent.
In support of his contention that YSRCP is standing by the people, he pointed to party's protest programmes, including the December 13, 2024, demonstration for crop insurance, the December 24 agitation against electricity tariff hikes, and the March 12 Yuva Poru protest against the cancellation of education schemes like Jagananna Vidya Deevena.
Campaigns like 'Babu Surety, Mosam Guarantee' and 'Recalling Chandrababu's Manifesto' exposed TDP's failure to deliver welfare promises, he claimed.
Jagan condemned filing of 'false' cases against senior police officers like P S R Anjaneyulu, Sunil Kumar, and Kanti Rana Tata, noting that over 80 inspectors and hundreds of constables remain suspended or sidelined, while pro-TDP officers are favoured.
He cited IPS officer Siddharth Kaushal's resignation as evidence of pressure on honest officials. He also denounced the 'brutal' attack on Krishna ZP chairperson Uppala Harika by TDP workers during a 'Recalling Chandrababu's Manifesto' event in Gudivada.
Despite police presence, no arrests were made, and a false case was filed against Harika's husband. Jagan Mohan Reddy criticised the government for targeting YSRCP leaders with false FIRs during visits to markets and condolence meetings, questioning why raising public issues is treated as a crime.
He slammed the government for borrowing Rs 1.75 lakh crore in 14 months without implementing major welfare schemes like jobless youth allowance, LPG cylinders, Amma Vodi, pensions, or fee reimbursement.

YSRCP MP Midhun Reddy arrested in Rs 3,200-crore liquor scam in Andhra
Amaravati, Jul 19 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh police on Saturday arrested YSRCP Lok Sabha member PV Midhun Reddy in the alleged Rs 3,200-crore liquor scam during the previous YSRCP regime. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged liquor scam grilled Midhun Reddy for several hours today and followed it up with his arrest at around 7.30 pm in Vijayawada. 'Yes (he has been arrested). The process (to produce him before a court) is going on," Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha told PTI over phone. Midhun Reddy represents Rajampet constituency in Andhra Pradesh. The YSRCP leader arrived in Vijayawada earlier today to attend the probe and his questioning comes in the wake of the arrest of other accused persons–Dhanunjay Reddy, Krishna Mohan Reddy and Balaji Govindappa. Meanwhile, the opposition party slammed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for allegedly indulging in vindictive behaviour and foisting 'false' cases against people close to YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The case against Mithun Reddy is part of a larger vindictive conspiracy to arrest people who are in close proximity to the party leadership, said senior YSRCP leader Malladi Vishnu in a release. 'But we will bounce back to call the bluff of Chandrababu Naidu," he said, adding that the more vindictive the actions of the Naidu government, the stronger YSRCP's resolve becomes to fight back and expose the 'failures and corruption' of the coalition government. Further, senior YSRCP leader L Appi Reddy said Midhun Reddy comes from a family with a long and distinguished political history. 'I am confident that justice will prevail and that the judiciary will act fairly. His decision to attend the inquiry shows his determination to prove his innocence and his respect for the rule of law," Reddy told PTI Videos.

Barking on TV every day: Mallikarjun Kharge tears into PM in Karnataka
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being excessively present on television while ignoring pressing domestic issues like the ongoing crisis in criticised the Prime Minister's frequent media appearances, saying, "Modi is seen on TV every single day, there isn't a single day he's not on the TV screens. Despite having government television Doordarshan, no Prime Minister in the past would bark on TV the way he does the moment the day breaks."advertisementAddressing a convention organised by the Karnataka government in Mysuru, Kharge intensified his criticism, accusing Prime Minister Modi of 'murdering' the Constitution. He asserted that the people of India would not allow the BJP and RSS to alter it. "BJP and RSS are talking about amending or rewriting the Constitution. You may try how much you want, but the people of this country will not allow you to change the Constitution. If you (people) allow them to change the Constitution, you will not have any rights," Kharge warned the gathering."Modi, you became the Chief Minister and Prime Minister because of the Constitution. You bowed to the Constitution before entering Parliament, but Modi is today murdering the same Constitution," Kharge focus to the violence in Manipur, Kharge highlighted the deteriorating situation in the state, alleging government inaction in the face of serious crimes and ethnic clashes."In our country, in Manipur, there are reports of rapes, communal violence, and tribal clashes between two communities. People have lost their properties and children, but neither the BJP-led state government nor the central government has done anything about it," he also questioned the Prime Minister's silence and absence from the conflict-torn region. "Modi travels to 42 countries, but in our own country, a region as important as Manipur, he hasn't even visited. Is he scared to go there?"Drawing a contrast with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Kharge said, "Rahul Gandhi, on the other hand, not only visited Manipur but even started his Bharat Jodo Yatra 2nd leg from there. While people are dying in our own country, Modi continues to travel abroad."Pointing to Modi's claim that India is now among the top countries in terms of equality, Kharge cited Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's statement that poverty is rising and wealth is concentrating among a few. "Who is correct, Modi or Gadkari? Who is to be believed?" he asked, adding that 'Modi's only guarantee is lying.'- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Narendra Modi#Indian National Congress
