CPI State secretary demands probe into Andhra Pradesh sand mining scandal, praises Election Commission for transparency.
Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K. Ramakrishna on Saturday demanded a probe into the sand mining scandal in Andhra Pradesh. Speaking at a press conference here, Mr. Ramakrishna has alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy introduced a new sand policy that left scores of workers unemployed, apart from allowing the looting the sand.
“The excavation and sale of sand should be inquired thoroughly by a high-level committee,” said Mr. Ramakrishna. On the general elections in Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Ramakrishna has lauded the role of the Election Commission for its transparency in the State of Andhra Pradesh--EOM

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
