Jana Sena Party Chief K. Pawan Kalyan accused CM Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy of being an economic offender and said his arrest of former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu is a political vendetta. He warned bureaucrats not to believe in Jagan as he deserted his family. He said Jagan, his aides, bureaucrats and police who are ignorant of the laws will face repercussions.
Jana Sena Party Chief K. Pawan Kalyan on September 14 stated that Chief Minister Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy was an economic offender and not another Lal (Lal Bahudur Sashtri) or former Prime Minister A.B. .
Speaking to newsmen at a press conference in Rajamundry, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said; “Despite being an economic offender, Mr. Jagan proceeded with the arrest of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and the act is a political vendetta”, said Mr. Pawan Kalyan.
Mr. Pawan Kalyan has said that the arrest of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, is a precedent launched by Mr. Jagan and it could be applied to a former DGP or a former Chief Secretary in the future. Even a 20-year-old police encounter case could be reopened under such a precedent.
On the political scenario in Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Pawan Kalyan has said; “The State of Andhra Pradesh will ruin if everybody plays the political game. It will put the development of the State in question and lead to a rise in unemployment. Nobody is above the law. However, Mr. Naidu’s role should be established in the case (AP Skill Development Corporation case).
Reminder to bureaucrats: On the role of bureaucrats in governance, Mr. Pawan Kalyan has said; “How could the bureaucrats believe in Mr. Jagan who had deserted his sister Ms. Sharmila and Mother Ms. Vijayawamma. The bureaucrats should realize that Mr. Jagan would not come to their rescue for their acts“, added Mr. Pawan Kalyan.
“Mr. Naidu had built cities like Cyberabad in Telangana. Mr. Jagan has been looting all the natural resources. Mr. Jagan, his aides, bureaucrats and police who are ignorant of the laws will have to be prepared to face the repercussions of their actions after. In Andhra Pradesh, the state of lawlessness has prevailed. The ruling and administration are against the spirit of the Constitution”, opined Mr. Pawan Kalyan.
More than 2.6 lakh village and ward volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, once celebrated as the government’s grassroots champions for their crucial role in implementing welfare schemes, are now in a dilemma after learning that their tenure has not been renewed after August 2023 even though they have been paid honoraria till June 2024. Disowned by both YSRCP, which was in power when they were appointed, and the current ruling TDP, which made a poll promise to double their pay, these former volunteers are ruing the day they signed up for the role which they don’t know if even still exists
