YSR Congress Party leader Jagan Mohan Reddy cautioned Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu about the prevailing ‘jungle raj’ in the state, emphasizing a potential retaliation from the party cadre to address the situation. Reddy, addressing the media in Guntur after consoling the family of YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu, criticized Naidu for manipulating facts following the Tirupati laddu adulteration case. Despite clean chits from Central laboratories, the government’s decision to form another committee to investigate the issue was highlighted by Reddy as an attempt to rebrand the coalition government’s image.
Referring to the Supreme Court-monitored CBI SIT chargesheet, Reddy pointed out the absence of any mention of animal fat in the laddu and the exclusion of TTD chairmen from the charge sheet during Naidu’s tenure. He emphasized the reports from NDDB and NDRI, submitted with the chargesheet, confirming the absence of animal fat in the ghee samples post-Naidu’s government. Reddy accused Naidu of resorting to misinformation tactics and provocative actions to divert public attention from the laboratory reports, labeling it a conspiracy involving Naidu, his son Nara Lokesh, and Pawan Kalyan.
Reddy condemned the alleged misuse of power by Naidu, citing cases filed against YSRCP leaders and attacks on their residences by TDP members. He highlighted the victimization of Ambati Rambabu and the filing of false cases against him as evidence of the prevailing ‘jungle raj’ in the state. Reddy asserted a strong stance against such actions, promising to pursue all available avenues to combat the situation with increased determination. He issued a stern warning that those responsible for the attacks and violence would face repercussions in the near future.
