Jagan Questions Police Action And Governance After Incident Involving Ambati Rambabu

The YSR Congress Party Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy doubts police authority to arrest former minister Ambati Rambabu who criticized government handling of recent political events. He showed his police operation concerns through his explanation about how police activities would impact residents while he proved that police treated YSRCP members differently than other citizens.

Police Incident Involving Ambati Rambabu

• Jagan reported that police officers stopped Ambati Rambabu, a former minister, after he finished his temple puja. Jagan reported that TDP members with police protection blocked his vehicle and they started to destroy the car. Rambabu faced verbal insults but he only delivered a few comments in response to them. Rambabu held a press conference in which he expressed regret for his choice of words.
• Jagan stated that police officers should have treated Rambabu as an arrestable suspect based on the evidence he presented. He described Rambabu as a disciplined and respected leader and said such conduct should be acknowledged rather than punished.

Guntur Media Visit

• Jagan conducted a visit to Ambati Rambabu's residence in Siddhartha Nagar Guntur on Wednesday. He traveled from Tadepalli with a convoy despite Section 30 Police Act restrictions which made him arrive at his destination three hours after his planned time. He visited Rambabu's family before making a statement to the press.
• Jagan asserted that state democracy faced imminent danger because he claimed that governmental operations had reached their most dysfunctional state. The ruling authorities used false information to mislead people about the Tirumala laddu ghee matter by claiming that animal fat and fish oil were being used.

Questions on Selective Legal Action

Jagan raised doubts about the reasons behind Rambabu's punishment when he observed others receiving less severe treatment. He questioned the bail decision for TDP MLA Galla Madhavi and her husband who faced charges for attacking Rambabu's office. He mentioned past YSRCP leader incidents which included both physical assaults and verbal harassment and property destruction yet he criticized officials for not taking proper disciplinary measures.

Allegations on Liquor Trade and Policing

Jagan claimed that TDP leaders operated liquor businesses while they sold alcoholic beverages at higher than normal rates. He stated that illegal liquor production occurred which he connected to recent fatalities. He also accused police forces of being abused while he reported that numerous officers had chosen to retire early from their positions. He claimed that the ruling party was controlling the process of assigning government positions.

Warning and Future Actions

Jagan warned that people who hold power will face punishment if they continue their current behavior. He stated that YSRCP leaders had suffered from unfair attack which he requested people to observe. He announced that the party would organize statewide bandhs in response to any future similar incidents. He mentioned that the party plans to bring their case before the National Human Rights Commission and the Supreme Court.

Criticism of Government Strategy

Jagan claimed that public opinion had turned against the government over the Tirumala ghee issue. He accused the committee formation process of being a secret strategy which aimed to create a positive report instead of solving the issue through honest methods.
