YSRCP slams govt for politicizing tragic accident
Vijayawada: The YSRCP has strongly condemned the TDP coalition's attempt to politicize the tragic accident that resulted in the death of party activist Cheeli Singaiah during YS Jagan Mohan Reddy 's recent visit. Former minister Ambati Rambabu said that it was unfortunate to portray the accident as a big conspiracy, instead of treating the matter with the sensitivity it deserves. "The ruling coalition is attempting to exploit it for political gain," Ambati alleged. The YSRCP leader pointed out that Prathipadu YSRCP in-charge Kiran Kumar immediately rushed to the hospital upon receiving news of the accident and remained with the bereaved family until the postmortem was completed, offering them full support. The following day, senior party leaders from the district, including Ambati, visited the family and handed over a cheque of Rs 10 lakh as financial assistance. The district superintendent of police, Satish Kumar, has clearly stated that the vehicle involved in the accident was a private vehicle, not part of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's convoy. The driver and owner were identified and interrogated, confirming that the accident had no connection with the convoy itself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brass Krishna Idols For Prosperity & Protection In Life Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Despite this, the ruling coalition released a video four days after the incident, falsely blaming YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Ambati criticized the Naidu-led govt for failing to provide adequate security to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, a Z+ security protectee. "A rope party and road clearance team must lead the convoy, but the government has deliberately compromised on Jagan's security," Ambati alleged. This is not an isolated instance, as similar security failures were observed during YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's tours in Rapthadu and Podili. The coalition govt is using these lapses to orchestrate a character assassination campaign against the former CM, he claimed. The YSRCP demands a transparent and impartial investigation into both the accident and the security lapses that continue to put the life of a Z+ protectee at risk. "We urge the state govt to immediately rectify these lapses and stop using such incidents to settle political scores," Ambati said. The party reiterates that human tragedy must never be used as a political weapon.

Lokesh pats minister Narayana for his efforts in reviving the 150-year-old VR school at Nellore
Tirupati: HRD minister Nara Lokesh appreciated the efforts put in by municipal administration minister Ponguru Narayana in reviving the 150-year-old VR school at Nellore, where Narayana not only studied but also began his teaching career as a part-time teacher. The VR school, which has a rich legacy, had almost become defunct and was shut down during the erstwhile YSRCP regime. In the run-up to the 2024 general elections, Narayana promised to the people of Nellore that the VR school will be revived immediately after the TDP-led NDA govt comes back to power in the state. In an effort to fulfil his promise, the municipal administration minister has now revived the VR school with international infrastructure including digital classrooms, state-of-the-art labs and an impressive sports arena with the help of funds to the tune of Rs 15 crore extended under the CSR initiative by the NCC group. With the help of the state municipal administration dept, about 1,000 children from the most underprivileged sections of the society were handpicked and provided admission at the VR school, which is all set to be reopened in the last week of June.

APMDC attempting bond issue violating Constitutional requirements: Jagan
The YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said in a post on 'X' on Sunday that Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation (APMDC) was attempting another Bond (NCD) issue on June 24, on terms violative of the Constitution, in an unprecedented manner. Private parties were being given access to the Consolidated Fund of the State disregarding Constitutional safeguards, violating Articles 203 and 204. This amounts to permitting APMDC to borrow against the security of the Fund, in violation of Article 293(1) of the Constitution, he said. Further, an exclusive charge is given to the Bond (NCD) holders of the APMDC on all the future revenue of the APMDC. Additionally, government mineral wealth worth ₹1,91,000 crore was mortgaged to NCD (bond) holders. This was nothing short of cheating the public. In this regard, a case was pending at the A.P. High Court, which was admitted and notices were served on all the respondents to file counters. When the matter was sub judice, it was inappropriate for the government to allow APMDC to go ahead with the bond issue, he said, adding that it was indeed disheartening that the government was disregarding the Constitution and the future of the State.
