Former minister and YSRCP Guntur district president Ambati Rambabu flayed Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for using political power to dismiss legal cases against him and target YSRCP leaders with false charges.
Speaking to the media in Guntur, the former minister highlighted an incident in Angallu, where Naidu instigated violence against YSRCP members, resulting in a non-bailable Section 307 case against Chandrababu Naidu and 20 others. These cases were closed after the TDP came to power, without proper investigation, he said. In contrast, he said the government is filing false cases against YSRCP leaders under the same section.
Rambabu also criticized the liquor policy introduced by the TDP, stating it caused massive financial losses to the state’s treasury, as business owners were threatened by coalition MLAs, resulting in a low number of applications for wine shop tenders. He further stated that MLAs were demanding hefty bribes from those awarded licenses. Similarly, the sand policy, he said, resulted in 40 lakh tonnes of sand being sold illegally by the new government, which had previously been stocked by the YSRCP government.
