Government suppressing issues of public interest: Former Andhra CM Jagan
Addressing a meeting of the YSRCP Political Advisory Committee (PAC) on Tuesday, he accused the coalition government of brazenly arresting people and foisting false cases to create a fear psychosis and subdue the opposing voice. 'It is time we should stand up for the people, and start questioning the TDP-led NDA government,' he observed.
'The government is making all efforts to suppress issues of public interest, irregularities, corruption, and mal governance through diversion tactics, either by making arrest of high-profile people or spreading false narratives on the opposition,' he alleged.
The arrest of the former Intelligence Chief, the questioning of YSRCP MP PV Midhun Reddy and other former officials were part of the vindictive nature of the government.
If the government continues on its way forward in this manner, the deterioration of all systems will further deepen, and anarchy will prevail. 'We have to rip open the government's malicious intentions on various issues, including the allotment of land on a platter to companies of their choice with no proper checks and balances, besides giving contracts at inflated prices at their whims and fancies without following any procedure or prudence,' he said.
Furthermore, the former chief minister alleged, 'The State's revenues are shrinking, and wealth is being created for a select few. All our welfare schemes have come to a grinding halt, while those promised by the coalition government have not taken off, while loans are mounting, which an indication of financial indiscipline.'

'How did terrorists enter Baisaran wearing soldier uniforms?' Gaurav Gogoi slams govt over Pahalgam attack, calls it a 'buzdil sarkar'
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, speaking during the Operation Sindoor debate in the Lok Sabha on Monday, launched a sharp attack on the government over the Pahalgam terror attack and its overall handling of national security. He questioned why, even after 100 days, the country still has no clear answers about the incident in which 26 innocent civilians lost their lives. Gogoi directly questioned Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, demanding an explanation for how the terrorists managed to enter Baisaran in Pahalgam, an area considered sensitive.

The honourable minister spoke at length, yet failed to answer the most basic question, how did terrorists even reach Pahalgam and kill 26 innocent civilians?' said Gaurav Gogoi. 'I remember a mother and child crying after seeing a soldier, not out of relief, but out of fear. How did it come to this?' he said. Calling it a planned act by Pakistan to destabilise the region, Gogoi said the attack was aimed at harming Jammu and Kashmir's economy, spreading communal unrest, and pushing India toward the brink of war. Live Events He criticised the government for its failure to apprehend the attackers, saying, 'You have drones, Pegasus, and all sorts of surveillance tools, yet you couldn't catch them?' Referring to the BJP-led government's 2019 move to revoke Article 370, Gogoi asked what had really changed in the Valley. 'What kind of arrangement is this that even after Article 370's removal, terrorism is still alive in Kashmir?' he asked. He also mentioned how ambulances reportedly took nearly an hour to reach victims, indicating poor preparedness on the ground. Gogoi also questioned the sudden ceasefire announced on May 10, suggesting that India gave in under pressure. 'The entire country, including the Opposition, was supporting PM Modi. Then why did you announce a ceasefire? The US President has claimed 26 times that he forced India and Pakistan into it. If Pakistan was ready to kneel, why did you stop, and to whom did you surrender?' he asked. Gogoi also hit out at PM Modi for choosing to deliver political speeches in Bihar after returning from a Saudi Arabia trip instead of visiting the terror-affected region. 'Only our leader Rahul Gandhi went there to meet the victims,' he said, as members of the ruling alliance tried to shout him down.
