Dalit groups protest against Jagan Reddy's visit toTenali
Local Dalit activists staged protests against YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visit to Tenali town in Guntur district on Tuesday to meet the families of three men who were allegedly beaten up by the police on April 26. The incident occurred in Tenali town after the three men — Chebrolu John Victor (25), Sheikh Babulal alias Karimulla (21), from Tenali and Doma Rakesh (25), from Mangalgiri — were allegedly thrashed in public by the Tenali town-II police. A purported video of the incident surfaced on social media on May 26, triggering strong criticism from human rights groups and the YSRCP. All three accused are from underprivileged sections of society. The accused were arrested in relation to a case registered on April 25 on the basis of a complaint lodged by constable Kanna Chiranjeevi. The constable alleged that the accused had attacked him the previous night near Aithanagar in Tenali town, reportedly due to prior enmity and his role in summoning them for counselling in a drug-related case. On Tuesday, Jagan met the families of the accused and told reporters that he strongly condemned the high-handedness of the police for beating the youths up in full public glare and for shaming them and their families. 'The three men only questioned a constable who was in civil dress in connection with a local clash. If they were at fault, they should have been arrested and produced in the court, but the police cannot take law into their hands,' he said. However, Jagan's visit to Tenali triggered a tense atmosphere in the town. Several activists belonging to Dalit and other people's organisations held a road blockade opposing Jagan's visit. They formed a human chain at the market centre as a mark of protest. 'When a man from the Dalit community, Nuthakki Kiran, was murdered during the YSRCP regime in the same town, Jagan never came to call on the family of the victim. Now, he is standing in support of rowdy-sheeters. This is outrageous,' a Dalit activist said. In response to Jagan's visit, the TDP lashed out at the YSRCP leader for calling on the families of the Tenali MLA MS Raju questioned how a former CM could associate with ganja gangs, rowdy-sheeters, and anti-social elements. 'Visiting the families of the rowdy sheeters reflects Jagan's criminal mindset. This is shameful behaviour. He consoles criminals, but never those who made sacrifices for the nation or the state. Not once has he consoled any public activist or freedom fighter,' Raju said. He recalled that several Dalits had suffered from atrocities under Jagan's rule. 'Did he ever visit or support families like those of Subrahmanyam, a driver who was killed by YSRCP MLC Anantha Babu, who door-delivered the body to his family? What was Jagan doing when the police had beaten up Dalit medical professional Dr Sudhakar, whose crime was only to demand supply of surgical masks for the doctors during the COVID pandemic?' he asked. The TDP released the list of cases pending against the three Tenali youth, some of which were filed even during the previous YSRCP regime. 'John Victor has nine cases against him, including illicit liquor trade, theft, kidnapping, forgery, assault, and attempted murder, while Rakesh has cases of harassment of women, kidnapping, theft, assault, and attempted murder; and Karimulla was accused in a constable murder attempt case,' the party said. Meanwhile, Jagan alleged that the TDP government was using the police to indiscriminately file false cases against YSRCP leaders, MLAs, leaders and cadres. 'Now, innocent youth are being tortured. The patience of people is being tested by such activities,' he added. Former minister and another TDP lawmaker Nakka Ananda Babu said Jagan should be ashamed of supporting ganja dealers, drug peddlers, and criminal gangs. 'Going to Tenali to support rowdy-sheeters is disgraceful,' he said.

He called upon the people to join the 'Betrayal Day' to be observed on June 4 (Wednesday). Speaking to the media after consoling the family members of the police 'brutality' victims in Tenali on Tuesday, he strongly condemned the highhandedness of the police for beating up the youth in full public glare and shaming them and their family members on one hand and framing charges after the incident of their brutality came into public notice. It may be mentioned that three youth, Rakesh, Victor and Karimullah, hail from Mangalagiri and they were brought to Tenali and allegedly beaten up in public as they questioned a constable in mufti on an earlier occasion. Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said, the incidents of police brutality took place on April 25 and 26 and added that If there are cases the police should produce them in the court He said rowdy-sheets were opened only after the incident to indict them. He said the incidents came to light after one month as the video went viral. Otherwise even government doctors have given false reports about injuries on the three youth, he alleged. He questioned even Chandrababu Naidu has 24 cases against him and will the police behave in the same manner, he asked. Jagan said 143 poll promises of TDP were not fulfilled and all the previous welfare schemes were stopped. He alleged that police have been indiscriminately filing false cases against YSRCP leaders and former ministers, former MLAs, MLAs, leaders and cadres.
