AP symbol of anarchy under Naidu-led regime: Ex-CM Jagan Reddy alleges

Vijayawada, June 9 (UNI) Former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed grave concern over the alarming breakdown of democracy and rule of law in Andhra Pradesh, stating that the state has now become a symbol of anarchy under the Chandrababu-led regime.

Taking to the social media platform ‘X’, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy remarked that democratic voices, intellectuals, and journalists are being silenced through fear, intimidation, and blatant misuse of power.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly condemned the arrest of 70-year-old senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao, calling it a peak act of political vendetta. He questioned the rationale of arresting a moderator for remarks he never made, simply for hosting a debate.

“In any discussion, diverse opinions are natural. Punishing an anchor for guests’ statements is not only unjust, it’s dangerous,” he said.

The former Chief Minister accused Chandrababu Naidu of attempting to divert public attention from his one-year failures, corruption, and betrayal of electoral promises by targeting media houses like Sakshi and stifling critical voices.

This, he said, was not the first time Kommineni had faced vindictive actions—his previous job was taken away and his programs were censored between 2014 and 19 for not supporting TDP’s narrative.

Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy reminded Chandrababu that power is temporary. “You were given five years—one has already passed. The day will come when the people will demand answers for your abuses and injustices,” he warned.
