YSR Congress has demanded a public apology from Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan for spreading misinformation on Ippatam lands and drug-laden container at Vizag port as they were proved wrong.
Speaking to media former APTPC Chairman Kanumuri Ravichandra said, the Supreme Court recently dismissed the farmers’ claims and imposed fine on petitioners while CBI after thorough investigation has negated the drug container story of Vizag port.
He strongly criticized opposition leaders Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan for spreading baseless allegations against the YSRCP government and demanded an unconditional public apology from both leaders for their false claims and politically motivated smear campaigns.
Addressing the controversy surrounding road expansion activities in Ippatam village, Reddy slammed Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan for staging a political drama. He pointed out that despite the government issuing prior notices, Pawan Kalyan falsely claimed that farmers’ houses were demolished without any warning.
The Supreme Court recently upheld earlier judgments, dismissing the farmers’ claims as baseless and imposing a penality of Rs. 25,000 on each petitioner. Reddy demanded that Pawan Kalyan issue a public apology for misleading the public and creating unnecessary unrest.
Reddy also refuted Chandrababu Naidu’s allegations about a drug-laden container allegedly arriving in Visakhapatnam. He clarified that a thorough CBI investigation found no evidence of drugs in the case. Condemning Naidu for making defamatory statements, Reddy accused him of tarnishing the state’s image and maligning YSRCP leaders, including MP Vijayasai Reddy, for political gains. He demanded a public apology from Naidu for his baseless accusations.
Reddy accused TDP and Jana Sena of resorting to misinformation through its biased media to mislead the public. He alleged that these fabricated narratives have been strategically crafted to undermine the YSRCP government while tarnishing the state’s reputation for political gains.
He emphasized YSRCP’s dedication to exposing the opposition’s lies and deceptive practices and reiterated that the Party would continue to hold opposition leaders accountable for their attempts to mislead the people and damage the state’s reputation.
