Jagan supported damaging campaign against his mother, sister: Andhra CM

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday accused YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday accused YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of supporting social media campaigns damaging his sister and mother.

While speaking in the Assembly, the CM gave an example of such a post and said that he couldn't go further as those posts were highly disparaging.

"A person who worked as a CM (Jagan) supported posts (on social media) on his mother and sister," alleged Naidu, citing the name of one Varra Ravindra Reddy who had allegedly indulged in such activities.

Alluding to Jagan Mohan Reddy's recent press conference, Naidu asserted that the YSRCP supremo was feigning ignorance about the social media goings on.

The CM referred to YS Sharmila's recent complaint against social media posts that allegedly targeted her.

Further, he accused that social media posts are not sparing even the Home Minister of the state, Vangalapudi Anitha, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and several other eminent persons.

Holding a bunch of printed copies of those social media posts, Naidu said he is losing sleep because of those vitriolic virtual campaigns.

He reiterated his warning that the government will mercilessly crack down on people who harass and defame women and called it an organised crime.

Referring to AP (Andhra Pradesh) Land Grabbing Prohibition Act, 2024, Naidu said the burden of proving that a parcel of land was not grabbed would be borne by the accused.

He said this act would be applicable even in the event of an attempt to grab somebody's land and issue threats for this purpose.

"The burden of proving that the land has not been grabbed lies with the alleged land grabber," he said.

Highlighting that law and order is crucial for development, the CM said stringent measures are needed for a peaceful environment in the state, adding that cyber police stations will be established in every district.

Promising the setting up of Andhra Pradesh Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Thullur, Naidu said regional centres will also be built in Tirupati, Rajahmundry and Anantapur.

The CM said a national forensic sciences university will also be established in the state.

Moreover, the House unanimously passed a resolution to accord 33 per cent reservation to Backward Classes in the lawmaking bodies, which will be forwarded to the Centre for approval, among others.
