Police officers' association condemns YSRCP leaders' remarks
The Chittoor District Police Officers' Association, in a statement on Sunday, cautioned political leaders against making allegations against the police personnel. Referring to the comments made by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader and former Minister Ambati Rambabu during a programme at Bangarupalem recently that 'a rowdy sheet will be opened against an IPS officer if our party comes to power,' the association said such statements were unacceptable in a democratic set-up. The association said that permissions had been granted for an interaction with 500 mango farmers as per his request, yet senior officers' directions were ignored. The association also condemned Chittoor-based YSRCP leader M.C. Vijayananda Reddy's alleged abusive and indecent remarks against Two-Town Circle Inspector Nettikantayya and Sub-Inspector Ramesh Babu while they were trying to control clashes between two groups in Chittoor recently. The association said both the officers had acted lawfully under the orders of senior officials. The allegations that Mr. Nettikantayya had ordered a power-cut in the area during the clashes were false, it said. On suspension of the Personal Security Officer assigned to YSRCP Punganur MLA Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, the association said action had been taken for negligence in VIP security and not for political reasons as was alleged by former Tirupati MLA Bhumana Karunakara Reddy.

YSRCP accuses Andhra govt of large-scale land irregularities in Vizag
Visakhapatnam, Jul 27 (PTI) YSRCP leader and former minister Gudivada Amarnath on Sunday accused the TDP-led coalition government of 'large-scale land irregularities" and said it was behaving like a 'real estate agency" while allotting public lands to associates, firms and realtors at 'unjustifiably" low prices here. He alleged that the state government diverted prime land to newly incorporated firms with no credentials, undermining previous IT development plans initiated under the YSRCP regime. 'The TDP-led coalition government has committed massive irregularities in land allocations in Visakhapatnam since the government was formed," Amarnath said while addressing a press conference. He alleged that private companies received valuable land at rates as low as Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore per acre, calling it a 'quid pro quo'. He noted the land deals had created no IT jobs for Andhra's youth. The former minister further alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh were directly overseeing these land deals, and that public land was being 'looted" to benefit their associates. The YSRCP leader linked Naidu's frequent visits to Singapore to alleged corruption and old ties with tainted individuals there. Amarnath said that the YSRCP would launch a mass movement against the land scam and hold the Naidu-led coalition government accountable for allegedly diverting public wealth for private gains. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP. PTI MS GDK KH view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 23:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
