Mithun Reddy Sent to Rajahmundry Jail in Liquor Scam Case
RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: YSRCP MP Mithun Reddy, named as A4 accused in the liquor scam case, was remanded to judicial custody till August 1 by the Vijayawada ACB Court on Sunday. Following the court's orders, police shifted him to the Rajahmundry Central Jail around 9 pm. As news spread about his transfer, a large number of YSRCP workers gathered near the jail. Several leaders, including former MP Bharat, led the crowd. Police deployed heavy security to prevent any untoward incidents. Mithun Reddy was taken straight into the jail premises in a police vehicle, avoiding any interaction with the crowd. With this, YSRCP workers and leaders dispersed after waiting for a while. Mithun Reddy was arrested on Saturday by the SIT officials, who produced him before the ACB court on Sunday. Meanwhile, former MP Bharat strongly criticised the ruling government, alleging that the state was being run in violation of the Ambedkar Constitution with the use of "red books". He questioned how a scam could occur when the previous YSRCP government had increased revenue through legal liquor sales. Calling Mithun Reddy's arrest illegal, he said that thousands of people used to turn up whenever their leader, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, stepped out, but not a single person was seen when Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu made a public appearance.

Supreme Court verdict a slap on Chandrababu's face: YSRCP
Anantapur: The Supreme Court's verdict in the arrest case of senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao is a clear slap on Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's face, said YSRCP Anantapur district president Anantha Venkatarami Reddy. He stated that the Supreme Court bench questioned how a case could be filed against Kommineni just for comments made by a panelist during a Sakshi TV debate. 'This verdict is a strong step toward safeguarding democracy,' he said. He alleged that despite senior journalist Kommineni and the Sakshi media having no connection to the comments made by political analyst Krishnamraju during a recent debate, TDP leaders launched a statewide campaign of unrest, falsely implicating them. At the same time, he accused them of spreading malicious propaganda against former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his wife Bharath. Reddy further condemned the orchestrated attacks on Sakshi media offices across the state, demanding the immediate arrest of those involved. He criticized the coalition government for governing like a dictatorship for the past year, using illegal arrests and false cases to suppress opposition. The Supreme Court's observations clearly reveal that basic legal norms were not followed in Kommineni's arrest, he added. Calling the state's ongoing governance a 'Red Book regime,' Reddy asserted that the Court's ruling exposes the arrest as unlawful and undemocratic. He said the Supreme Court's remarks reflect the deteriorating state of democracy in Andhra Pradesh, and demanded that the coalition government start upholding the Ambedkar Constitution in spirit and practice.
