Sajjala dismisses liquor scam as ‘fabrication' by Naidu
Vijayawada: YSRCP state coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Friday alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu created the liquor scam only to divert public attention from the corruption that took place during his earlier tenure. He alleged that the government is running a malicious campaign using baseless theories and linking unrelated cash seizures to the liquor scam with no clear evidence. Speaking to the media outside the ACB Court here, he recalled that the actual liquor scam took place during the TDP regime from 2014 to 2019, when Rs 1,300 crore per annum worth of privileged fees were cancelled without the approval of the finance department or discussion in the Cabinet. He said that Chandrababu Naidu himself had signed that file. Ramakrishna Reddy questioned why no investigation has been initiated into that clear case of corruption. In contrast, he claimed, the SIT is now pursuing 'imaginary connections' using flimsy stories and vague assumptions. He said that the SIT itself has no clarity on where the scam occurred or how. Referring to the Rs 11 crore seized recently, he said attempts to link it to Raj Kasireddy and YSRCP MP Midhun Reddy are politically motivated. He questioned how a person in jail for 90 days could still hold on to that money without disposing of it.

Jagan, Sajjala condemn arrest of Midhun Reddy
Vijayawada: YSRCP president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and state coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy strongly condemned the arrest of YSRCP MP P V Midhun Reddy, labelling it a politically motivated conspiracy by the TDP-led government to silence opposition voices. Jagan, in a tweet, called the arrest a 'targeted act of vendetta' to mask TDP's own scams, alleging that the liquor scam case against Midhun is built on coerced confessions and lacks evidence. He accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, himself on bail for corruption cases from 2014-19, which were filed by his government, of reviving corrupt liquor practices like belt shops and permit rooms, undoing YSRCP's transparent state-controlled liquor system. Ramakrishna Reddy, speaking outside the ACB Court, dismissed the liquor scam as a fabricated narrative, noting the Special Investigation Team's failure to produce evidence despite fluctuating claims of losses from Rs 50,000 crore to Rs 3,000 crore. He challenged Naidu to probe both TDP and YSRCP tenures via Central agencies. Both leaders vowed that YSRCP would resist this 'witch-hunt' and continue advocating for the people, asserting the case's lack of legal merit will unravel in court.

YSRCP book exposes NDA government's ‘betrayal' of promises
VIJAYAWADA: YSRCP State coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, alongside senior leaders, released a book documenting the 'failures' of the TDP-led NDA government in the past one year at the party central office in Tadepalli on Thursday. Speaking to the media, Sajjala accused the coalition government of pushing the State into 'dark days' through broken promises, oppressive governance, and systematic destruction. 'Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's rule stands for deceit, while YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's legacy represents trust,' Sajjala said, contrasting the current administration with the YSRCP's governance, which he said laid the foundation for a golden future. The YSRCP termed the NDA's one year rule a 'betrayal' of Andhra Pradesh's five crore people. The book exposes the one year 'misrule' of NDA, from stifling dissent with 'Red Book Constitution' to filing 'false' cases through 'misuse' of police, fostering corruption, and dismantling the progress achieved during the previous YSRCP regime. Sajjala highlighted that 1.3 lakh government jobs were created, 17 new medical colleges and four ports were taken up during the previous regime, and the systemic reforms and achievements during 2019-24 were unmatched in the State's history.

Minister Kondapalli criticises YSRCP
Vizianagaram: Minister for MSME Kondapalli Srinivas has condemned YSRCP leader Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy's 'disgusting' reaction to the arrest of Sakshi Media journalist Kommineneni Srinivas Rao, accusing the previous government of hypocrisy and orchestrating a smear campaign against Amaravati. Speaking to media on Tuesday, the minister said, 'Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, who is responsible for the atrocities of the past five years, is now preaching morality.' He denounced Sakshi Media for its ongoing 'poisoning' of Amaravati, referencing a recent debate where senior journalist Krishnam Raju's comments exposed the true intentions of YSRCP leaders. The minister demanded strong action from both the Central and State government to prevent future derogatory comments against women. He alleged that the YSRCP fears the rapid development of Amaravati and Polavaram, leading them to resort to 'cheap remarks' and then shamelessly defend their actions. 'Labelling those who question their mistakes as 'hybrids' reveals their demonic mentality,' he added. He also contrasted the recent arrest with YSRCP's past actions, recalling the arrests of 74-year-old Kollu Anka Babu and the 80-plus-year-old Ranganayakamma for sharing information on WhatsApp during YSRCP's rule. 'YSRCP seems to think people have forgotten their past misdeeds,' he quipped. Minister Srinivas affirmed the government's respect for journalists but cautioned that those using the profession to conspire against Amaravati would not be tolerated. He reiterated the TDP's commitment to respecting women, regardless of their political affiliation, while condemning the derogatory remarks made against women in Amaravati. He concluded by suggesting that these 'diversionary politics' are a desperate attempt by YSRCP to evade their own corruption scandals.

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.
