Jagan Mohan Reddy Denounces Vamsi’s Arrest
YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly criticized Vamsi’s arrest, calling it political harassment by the TDP-led government. He accused the ruling party of misusing legal systems to target opposition leaders.

🔹 He also held the government responsible for Vamsi’s safety and described the arrest as politically motivated.
The Case Behind Vamsi’s Arrest
Vamsi’s arrest is linked to an incident in Gannavaram, where a TDP office was attacked during the previous YSRCP regime.
🔸 A Dalit youth testified in court, claiming he was pressured by TDP leaders to file a false case.
🔸 Jagan Mohan Reddy accused Chandrababu Naidu of manipulating the case to target political rivals and interfering with the investigation.
Jagan also accused the police of bias, claiming they were helping the TDP instead of upholding justice.
Jagan Highlights Another Case of Bias
Jagan also pointed to another incident involving former MLA Kotharu Abbaiya Chowdary, who was allegedly framed with false charges.
✔ Video footage showed a TDP MLA verbally abusing Chowdary’s driver, but instead of acting against the TDP MLA, the police filed charges against Chowdary.
✔ Jagan used this case to accuse the police of being biased against opposition leaders.
Jagan Criticizes Naidu’s Governance
In addition to the legal battles, Jagan Mohan Reddy also attacked Chandrababu Naidu for failing to deliver on promises made to the people of Andhra Pradesh.
⚠ Jagan claimed that Naidu’s government was using politically motivated arrests to distract from its failures in governance.
⚠ He warned that the people of Andhra Pradesh were watching and would hold the government accountable.
What’s Next for Andhra Pradesh’s Politics?
The situation between TDP and YSRCP is only growing more intense.
✔ Will Vamsi’s arrest lead to more politically charged actions in the state?
✔ Can the YSRCP challenge the TDP’s tactics, or will these arrests hurt the opposition’s position?
As political tensions increase, the future of Andhra Pradesh’s politics remains uncertain, and the public is watching closely.
