Jagan Mohan Reddy Slams Red Book Constitution After Tenali Police Brutality On Dalit Youths
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday visited the families of three young men in Tenali who were allegedly subjected to police torture and public assault. He described the incident as indicative of a broader institutional decline under the current administration, referring to it as evidence of the "Red Book Constitution" — a term he uses to critique the state's governance. The alleged incident occurred on April 25, involving Chebrolu John Victor, Karimullah, and Doma Rakesh. According to reports, the three men were detained, forced to sit on the roadside, and beaten with batons in public view. Reddy claimed they were also threatened with electric shocks while in custody. "In the state of Andhra Pradesh, every institution has taken a back seat," Reddy said. "Thanks to the N. Chandrababu government and the Red Book Constitution, the police have become complicit in these activities." #WATCH | Andhra Pradesh: YSRCP President and former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy visited Tenali today and met the family of John Victor, one of the three men who were publicly beaten by police.

She stated that the police were acting against individuals involved in criminal activities. "Police acted against rowdy sheeters and the ganja batch. It is not right to attribute caste and religion to this," she said in a public statement. The victims belong to Dalit and minority communities, raising concerns among rights groups who have called for an independent probe into the incident. The episode has further intensified the political standoff between the TDP government and the opposition YSRCP over law enforcement and civil liberties in the state.

RBC is being implemented in AP, says Sajjala
Nellore: YSR Congress Political Action Committee (PAC) coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has alleged that TDP-led coalition government headed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was responsible in creating terror through implementation of its 'Red Book Constitution' (RBC) in the State. Sajjala visited party district president and former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy, who has been in Nellore central prison experiencing as under trailer, on Saturday. Speaking to the media, the YSRCP leader has pointed out that the recent series of arrests of his party leaders including Kesineni Vamsi, Nandigam Suresh, Kakani Govardhan Reddy, suggests the State is under 'police' control' due to implementation of RCB. 'If the same situation continues for some time, it will be highly difficult to restore normalcy. Even CM Naidu may have to taste bitter experience with police in coming days.' Recalling the incident where police trashed three people in public with lathis, he said jungle justice is being run under influence of RCB. When asked about the cases booked against YSRCP leaders and officials for their involvement, Sajjala replied that they are not against registering cases, but there should be documentary evidence and proper investigation before making arrests. 'Earlier Chandrababu Naidu was arrested based on complaints lodged by the Central government related to Goods Service Tax (GST), while Atchannaidu was arrested on corruption charges with documentary proofs. But arrests of YSRCP leaders are entirely different just based on confessed statements taken from unknown persons' he stated. He also said that cases like explosives, and SC/ST atrocities registered against Kakani Govardhan Reddy totally influenced and fabricated, the YSRCP leader predicted that cases were not withstand legally. aThe YSRCP leader has determined that his party leaders who were facing illegal arrests will become more strengthened after coming out from jail. ' There is no question of compromise in that aspect' he said.

Naidu has corrupted all systems in A.P., alleges Sajjala
YSRCP Political Advisory Committee (PAC) coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has lambasted Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, accusing him of corrupting all the systems in the State, including Police Department. He spoke to the media after meeting former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy in Nellore Central Jail on Saturday. 'Mr. Naidu is implementing the Red Book Constitution in this State and is filing cases against opposition leaders at his own will without any evidence. The case filed against Mr. Govardhan Reddy is proof of that. The case was filed by recording a false statement and it will not stand,' he said. Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said that YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will support Mr. Govardhan Reddy's family. 'Illegal cases are being filed against YSRCP leaders for raising their voices and questioning the government's irregularities. Despite this, the YSRCP is getting stronger,' he said. The YSRCP leader also accused the TDP of hatching conspiracies to arrest key leaders of the YSRCP to 'eliminate the opposition'. ' However, our party will rise like a wave,' he said.

Jagan dubs Mahanadu a drama
Tadepalli: Describing the Mahanadu as a major drama, former Chief Minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP should announce as to how many of the 143 promises it had given has been fulfilled. He affirmed that the one year term of the coalition is littered with atrocities, foisting false cases against political opponents and misuse of police with rampant corruption and neglect of all sections of people. Addressing local body representatives at the party headquarters here on Wednesday, he said, Chandrababu has been rigging the people's verdict, beginning from Kuppam itself, by luring MPTCs, ZPTCs and councillors to usurp civic bodies though he lacks numbers and has brought in a blot to the political system and those who stood with the Party despite the pressure are commendable. 'Jagan 2.0 will be different and will remember all the sacrifices and also those, who troubled the cadre and all the erring people will be brought to book,' Jagan said, adding that the ongoing Mahanadu is being used for photo ops as they have nothing to boast off or tell people about how many poll promises they have fulfilled. 'During our term, despite Covid and depleted revenues we had not stopped any of the welfare schemes and have implemented over 99 percent of our poll promises. The contrast is very much in the open for all to see', the former CM pointed out. He alleged that even small schemes like free bus for women could not be implemented by Chandrababu Naidu and could not keep the promise on free LPG cylinder while Amma Vodi was done away with and all the reforms we have brought in the education sector were stalled. On the medical front as well, the coalition is a total failure and it could not give MSP to farmers to any corp. Employees are badly hit as they feel cheated. Not a single job was given by the coalition in the first year while we had given over 3 lakh jobs, he said. Jagan said that law and order has been going from bad to worse and the Red Book Constitution is being implemented with false cases, creating fake witnesses and Palnadu though it was a TDP affair, our party in-charge was illegally booked. He criticised that former Minister Kakani Goverdhan Reddy was arrested despite officials giving a report that there was no illegal mining and now they have filed a case against RK (Alla Rama Krishna Reddy) and there have been many instances of lawlessness. 'Corruption has been rampant in sand, capital construction works, liquor and quartz while we have transferred Rs 2.73 lakh crore under DBT. When we could do so, why is the coalition unable to extend the welfare schemes?' he questioned. The former CM said that the State revenue has drastically fallen and the growth rate has slackened, and Jagan 2.0 would be different and will give prominence to development and welfare along with the cadre, he said adding that those who have troubled us will be brought to book. Local body representatives from Mandapeta, Gollaprolu, Penugonda and Madanapalli attended the meeting.

Wait, we will show them a movie: YSRCP chief Jagan to cadre
VIJAYAWADA: Former Chief Minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday asked party activists to document injustices by the ruling TDP, promising retribution when he regains power. 'If anyone wrongs you, write their names down. When we return, we will show them a movie. We will bring them back, even if they flee the country,' Jagan declared, emphasising, 'The seeds they sow today will grow double tomorrow.' He encouraged resilience, stating, 'Let them hit you now; our time will come, and we'll hit back.' Addressing YSRCP representatives from Konaseema, Parvathipuram Manyam, West Godavari, Sri Sathya Sai and Visakhapatnam, Jagan accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of enforcing a 'Red Book Constitution' to crush dissent. He alleged that Naidu's administration was using 'manufactured witnesses' to frame YSRCP leaders in false cases. 'They take someone unrelated to a crime, make him an approver, and create fake evidence to arrest and jail our people. This is unprecedented,' Jagan charged, adding Naidu is sowing a 'false tradition' to silence opposition. Jagan highlighted the alleged democratic violations in local body elections, citing the example of Tiruvuru, where YSRCP holds 17 of 20 councillors but faced TDP's coercive tactics. 'They pulled five, but we still have 12 against TDP's eight. Yet, with police support, they block election, and place our leaders under house arrest,' he said. Mentioning Naidu's unfulfilled election promises, Jagan contrasted it with YSRCP's 99% fulfilment of the manifesto. He exhorted cadre to expose the TDP-led NDA government's failures. 'After darkness, light is inevitable. We will win,' the YSRCP chief asserted.
