YSRCP Accuses CM Naidu Of Political Vendetta Over Arrest Of Former Bureaucrats In Liquor Scam Case

Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) has reacted sharply to the arrest of 2 former senior bureaucrats on fees in relation to the alleged Rs 3,200 crore liquor rip-off, and accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of beginning a marketing campaign of political revenge towards officers related to the former govt.

On Friday night time, the state’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) took into custody retired IAS officer Dhanunjaya Reddy and previous Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Krishna Mohan Reddy after grilling them for hours. Both have been hired all the way through the outgoing YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP regime.

YSRCP Senior chief and Leader of Opposition within the Legislative Council, B Satyanarayana, attacked the arrests, accusing that “Chandrababu Naidu is resorting to political vendetta, targeting even retired officials to destroy the administrative texture of the state.”

In a commentary, Satyanarayana mentioned that the arrests have been made at the foundation of “fabricated evidence” and “no concrete proof has been given until now.” He known as the motion a “dangerous attack on democratic institutions” and cautioned of long-term results for bureaucratic morale and institutional autonomy.

Supporting those claims, YSRCP MLA G Srikanth Reddy remarked that the state’s TDP-led NDA govt used to be taking political vendetta to “alarming levels,” additional mentioning that incumbent and previous IAS and IPS officers have been being “harassed” with out reason why.

Former Minister Merugu Nagarjuna and different senior YSRCP leaders seconded this view, calling the arrests politically motivated and cautioning that such an motion can be a disconcerting precedent.

The TDP govt remained mute on those fees. The SIT has argued that the arrests are simply part of a broader probe into fiscal malpractices and kickbacks in reference to liquor purchases and gross sales all the way through the YSRCP’s rule.

The transfer is prone to additional escalate political tensions in Andhra Pradesh as the brand new govt begins its time period with allegations of abuse of probe companies.
