YSRCP chief Jagan condemns arrest of party leader Vallabhaneni Vamsi

YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday condemned the arrest of party leader and former Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi, holding the N Chandrababu Naidu-led NDA government 'responsible' for his safety.

The Andhra Pradesh Police arrested Vamsi in Hyderabad on Thursday in connection with an attack on the TDP Gannavaram office during the erstwhile YSRCP regime.

Later on Thursday, he was produced in a local court, which remanded him to 14 days. He is currently in a Vijayawada jail.

"I seriously condemn Vamsi’s arrest. If there is any issue with his security, I hold this government responsible," Reddy said in a post on 'X'.

According to the opposition leader, the NDA government is blatantly misusing power to stifle political opponents through 'unlawful arrests'.

The YSRCP supremo alleged that the state government is 'diverting' public attention from its 'failures' through 'politically motivated' arrests and 'fabricated' cases.
