The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Charges traded between ruling and opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh are predictable: each side calls the other vindictive. But Jagan's specific claim that a TDP worker tore an MLA's wife's clothes to invoke the SC/ST Act demands evidence beyond a press conference. If the government has kept a clean record on BC welfare, it can produce the FIR and CCTV logs. The real test is whether the courts find these cases fabricated or genuine, not who shouts louder.
