Former minister and YSRCP Guntur district president Ambati Rambabu criticised Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for allegedly using political power to dismiss legal cases against himself and to target YSRCP leaders with false charges.
Addressing the media in Guntur, Rambabu pointed to an incident in Angallu, where he claimed Naidu instigated violence against YSRCP members. This led to a non-bailable Section 307 case being filed against Naidu and 20 others, which was closed without proper investigation once the TDP came to power. In contrast, he alleged that false cases under the same section were being filed against YSRCP leaders.
Rambabu also condemned the liquor policy introduced by the TDP, stating that it caused significant financial losses to the state’s treasury. He claimed that coalition MLAs threatened business owners, leading to a low number of applications for wine shop tenders, and demanded hefty bribes from those awarded licenses. He further accused the government of mismanaging the sand policy, alleging that 40 lakh tonnes of sand, stocked by the previous YSRCP government, were sold illegally under the new administration.
