YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused the TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh of targeting Backward Classes (BCs) through false cases. Speaking after visiting jailed party MLA Virupakshi in Kurnool, Reddy alleged law and order had worsened and that police had filed fabricated charges against 38 people linked to the MLA. Reddy claimed police damaged CCTV cameras during a night raid on Virupakshi's house and arrested him under serious charges. He also alleged that a TDP worker tore the MLA's wife's clothes, leading to charges under the SC/ST Act. The former chief minister warned those responsible would repent. The TDP had no immediate comment.
