YSRCP accuses Andhra coalition govt of unleashing reign of terror

Digital Desk | Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh), Sep 23 (IANS) YSR Congress Party has accused the TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh of unleashing what it called a reign of terror to silence the voices questioning it. It alleged that the false cases filed against opposition leaders and cadre show how democracy is being undermined in the state. Speaking to the media at the YSRCP Central office here on Wednesday, Party Legal Cell President Manohar Reddy alleged that there is a jungle raj in the state, with TDP goons attacking unemployed youth and YSRCP leaders at the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) office and the task force conducting raids and terrorising family members. It is appalling that old cases are reopened against MLC Thalasila Raghuram and Devineni Avinash, which shows the vindictive intent of the government, he said. All this is being done with the conspiracy to deny YSRCP leaders the opportunity to contest the ensuing local body elections, with rowdy sheets being opened at their whim, and unmindful of the fact that there are numerous cases against Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and Education Minister Lokesh. All those involved in the vindictive politics of filing false cases against the Opposition will have to face the consequences in the coming days, he said. The remarks of Chandrababu Naidu at the Kuppam meeting, even before the friction began at the SAAP office, show the conspiracy angle to the orchestrated attack on YSRCP activists, unemployed youth, which includes differently-abled people. The state should focus on investigating the irregularities in the DSC and how the sports quota was manipulated instead of targeting the Opposition, he said, adding that as the coalition has no answer to the pointed questions raised, it is resorting to false cases and using police to silence the voice of dissent. YSRCP has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Lokesh and a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers. The Opposition party on September 21 organised a protest at the office of the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh in Vijayawada to press for its demands.

Protest over DSC scam to continue in Andhra till Lokesh resigns, says Jagan

Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 21 (IANS) YSR Congress Party chief Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Monday that his party would continue its protest across Andhra Pradesh till the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers. The former Chief Minister condemned the police highhandedness against YSRCP leaders and cadres staging a protest at the office of the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) in Vijayawada. He alleged that TDP goons, disguised as teachers, attacked the protestors. Chandrababu Naidu Garu, why are you so afraid and agitated when we demand a CBI inquiry into the DSC scam? Can you and your son, Education Minister Nara Lokesh, simply certify your own recruitment process as transparent? What value does a self-issued certificate from those accused of committing the scam carry? Stop making empty claims. If you have the courage, agree to a CBI inquiry, the YSRCP president said in a post on X. The incidents in Vijayawada today show how far your government has fallen. Our party leaders, along with students and unemployed youth, attempted to conduct a peaceful rally demanding a CBI inquiry. But the police blocked them, subjected them to a lathi-charge and allowed your goons, disguised as teachers, to attack them, he said. YS Jagan asked if the Opposition does not even have the democratic right to hold a peaceful rally. Mr Chandrababu Naidu? You are resorting to such desperate measures because serious irregularities have occurred in the DSC recruitment and because you and your son are unable to answer the questions being raised. Whenever you are caught in a scam, creating diversions to escape accountability has become your standard practice. What are we demanding? We are seeking an impartial CBI investigation into irregularities in a recruitment process connected to the futures of lakhs of candidates. If you are so confident that nothing improper happened, why are you afraid of an investigation, particularly when so much evidence has emerged? the former Chief Minister asked. He stated that lakhs of young people study for years and spend substantial amounts of money preparing for teacher recruitment examinations. They must have confidence that their hard work and merit will receive justice through a fair government recruitment system. Because of the alleged irregularities committed under your government and Education Minister Lokesh, unemployed youth and job aspirants have lost that confidence. Can police barricades, lathi-charges, arrests and stage-managed counter-protests restore this lost trust? Only an impartial CBI investigation can restore public confidence in the recruitment process. You cannot hide a scam by using the police as a shield. You cannot suppress the Oppositions voice and conceal the facts. DSC candidates must receive justice, and government recruitment must be transparent. That is why we are fighting. Nara Lokesh must accept responsibility for the DSC irregularities and resign as Education Minister. The government must order a CBI inquiry. Until these demands are met, our voice will continue to resonate across the State, YS Jagan added.

SIT files chargesheet in Vijayawada custodial death case

Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 21 (IANS) The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Andhra Pradesh Police on Monday filed the chargesheet in a court here in the alleged custodial death of Gade Sai Krishna. The chargesheet has been filed against then Krishnalanka police station Circle Inspector (Station House Officer) S.S.V.V. Nagaraju, who is Accused No.1 in the case, and six other accused. The SIT submitted evidence of the arrest of Sai Krishna (25), his physical torture in custody resulting in his death and the cremation of the body by the accused to destroy evidence. Head constables Ashok Kumar and Nani, Nagarajus associate Gulivindala Suresh, constables Babu Rao and Sambaiah, and home guard Venkat are the other accused. Sai Krishna had disappeared after he was picked up by the police on May 6. His family alleged that he was beaten to death in the lockup and his body was disposed of at a crematorium. A case was registered on June 19 under sections 127 (4), 127 (6), 103 (1) and 238 of Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on a complaint by Sai Krishnas mother, Vijaya Lakshmi, who alleged that her son was tortured and beaten to death in custody. After she filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court, the state government constituted an SIT to probe the case. The SIT, headed by Inspector General (Law and Order) M. Ravi Prakash, arrested the suspended SHO on June 21. The chargesheet has been filed four days after Suresh surrendered in court. According to the SIT, Suresh confessed that he had seen Sai Krishna in the police station during interrogation, and later at a private house at Ranigari Thota, where he reportedly died on May 12. Suresh told SIT that Nagaraju, head constables Ashok Kumar and Nani cremated the body to destroy the evidence. The investigations revealed that the NTR Commissionerates Task Force police, along with the Krishnalanka police, went to Markapuram on May 5, 2026, and picked up Sai Krishna, against whom two Non-Bailable Warrants (NBWs) were pending. He was handed over to Krishnalanka police on the next day. Suresh told SIT that when he went to the police station on May 12, Nagaraju took him to a private vacant building, located at Ranigari Thota, where Sai Krishna was seen in pathetic condition on May 12. The victim reportedly told Suresh that he was being beaten severely every day since he was brought to the police station. Suresh told the investigating officials that Sai Krishna collapsed while he was talking to him. The two head constables checked the pulse of the victim and confirmed that he had died. On Nagarajus direction, the head constables shifted the body after wrapping it with a blanket on a two-wheeler to Swargapuri crematorium, around midnight on the same day, and Suresh followed them on a bike. The trio cremated the body. Nagaraju and Suresh visited the crematorium on May 18 to verify the place where Sai Krishnas body was cremated and checked if any remains of the victim were left. The investigation also revealed that Nagaraju met Sai Krishnas maternal uncles, Mullapudi Navarang and Nageswara Rao and tried to reach a compromise by offering money, but they refused.
