YS Sharmila slams brother YS Jagan Mohan Reddy over alleged Rs 3,500 crore liquor scam
VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president YS Sharmila launched a scathing attack on her brother and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, accusing him of misconduct in the alleged liquor scam and inappropriate behaviour towards police. Labelling the scam a 'thriller series', she claimed it had rattled the YSRCP, with Jagan's threats to 'strip police officers' reflecting poorly on his stature.
Speaking a press conference on Thursday, she cited the YSRCP government's alleged 40-day detention of actor Kadambari Jethwani and harassment of former MP and Deputy Assembly Speaker K Raghu Rama Krishna Raju as evidence of power misuse. Sharmila challenged Jagan to prove his innocence in the Rs 3,500 crore liquor scam by demanding an ACB or CBI probe in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, emulating their late father YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

PM Modi helm ushers unprecedented growth, says Punjab BJP chief
Chandigarh: The 11-year governance of the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ushered in a period of unprecedented growth in the country. India has become the fourth-largest economy in the world, Punjab unit party President Sunil Jakhar said on Tuesday. Lauding the phenomenal growth rate of the country, he told the media here that 'our nation has crossed even Japan in term of growth'. 'This is no coincidence but absolute commitment to work on policies, principles and prioritise to ensure that decisions which usher in change for the country were taken in the past 11 years.' While recalling various achievements of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) rule, Jakhar said it was a great achievement that 81 crore people were being given free rations, 55 crore had been given health insurance advantages, four crore houses for the disadvantaged were built, 50 crore households were provided drinking water facilities and crores of toilet's have been built across the nation. Jakhar reasoned that India's 6.5 GDP has led to industrial growth which has translated into employment for the people. 'The infrastructure of the nation, be it the extensive construction of highways or bridges, has changed the entire landscape of the country, ushering in progress and prosperity. A voluminous 55,000 km of highways and expressways is a phenomenal achievement.' Hailing the vision of Prime Minister Modi, the Punjab BJP chief said in 2014 there were only eight AIIMS in the country. 'Today we have 24, three times more in 11 years. In Punjab, we have an AIIMS Bathinda, which is a huge medical facility and soon more hospitals of this level will be established in other towns in the state.' Jakhar emphasised that women rights and equality were a keen concern of the BJP and the women reservation Bill to be passed. 'The social fabric of the country has become more progressive with equality and distribution of wealth and opportunity for all is a reality. The ease-of-living and ease-of-doing business has improved the lives of millions. The substantial increase in MSP (minimum support price) has led to increased income in Punjab as we are primarily an agricultural economy. The food grain purchase in the state this year was Rs 68,771 crore till date, while in 2014 it was Rs 32,211 crore,' he explained. Answering a media query about Congress leader Rahul Gandhi that 11 years have not seen any progress, Jakhar said: 'The 6.5 growth rate, the fourth-largest economy in the world, the development in the infrastructure, women empowerment, passing of significant Bills are all to see but unfortunately, if someone wants to have a myopic view then it is lamentable.'

Is a pen drive at centre of SMC-CID clash?
Ahmedabad: The dust may just be beginning to settle over the clash between two Gujarat police units, State Monitoring Cell (SMC) and CID (Crime), last week. In the meantime, new details emerged, suggesting that a pen drive could be at the centre of the flashpoint between the two units. According to sources, two relatively junior officers walked into the office of CID (Crime) chief Parikshita Rathod — a DIG-rank officer from the state police service — and questioned her about pending applications with the department. Alongside those inquiries, the two junior officers reportedly asked about a pen drive linked to a project in Gandhinagar. The pen drive had reportedly been in CID custody long before Rathod assumed her post, and she is said to have denied any knowledge of it. "It is obvious that the contents of the pen drive hold immense value to some officers," said a source close to the development. It is learnt that top bosses in the state govt are upset and seek to get to the bottom of the entire episode. On Monday, minister of state for home Harsh Sanghavi held a meeting with all the cops involved in the operation, seeking an account of what transpired during last week. Sources say this is not the first time details were sought from the CID (Crime) office. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo While Rathod was on leave last week, a police team from a different department reportedly approached her office to seek details about some pending inquiries. Neither DGP Vikas Sahay nor SMC DIG Nirlipt Rai responded to queries regarding the incident. For the uninitiated, the matter traces back to a complaint filed by a Vadodara-based businessman over a Rs 15 crore fraud involving a foreign company. Dissatisfied with CID's response, he is believed to have sought help from a 2013-batch IPS officer, who informed DIG Rai, leading to the SMC's intervention. The confrontation peaked when two SMC constables questioned Rathod and a fellow officer in her office. Following objections from CID officials, the constables were asked to leave. The internal discord prompted emergency meetings and the suspension of a police sub-inspector.
