Former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy gets bail in Krishnapatnam Port and gravel mining cases
The local courts on Friday granted bail to YSRCP leader Kakani Govardhan Reddy Krishnapatnam Port logistics and excessive gravel mining cases. However, his bail petitions in four other cases, including derogatory remarks on social media and illegal quartz mining, are still pending in the courts. The Fourth Additional Court granted bail to Mr. Govardhan Reddy in connection with the case of illegal toll-gate at Krishnapatnam Port. Police arrested his two followers on charges of collecting money illegally from the trucks drivers. Mr. Govardhan Reddy was also granted bail in a case registered by Venkatachalam police for forging the signature of Ongole MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy for mining gravel in Sarvepalle. He is yet to be granted bail in some other cases. A case was filed against him for taking up the digging works at a farmhouse near Kanupuru Cheruvu for purposes other than farming. The Muthukuru police registered a case against him on large-scale illegal mining and transportation of quartz from Rustum Mica Mines in Varadapuram village in Podalakur mandal in Nellore district. Apart from this, a case was filed against him under SC/ ST Atrocites Act based on the confessions from other accused. Mr. Govardhan Reddy has been in Nellore Central Prison for the past 45 days. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officials of Mangalagiri police station shifted him to Guntur for a few days in connection with the case of derogatory posts on social media against Sarvepalle MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy. Meanwhile, Mr. Govardhan Reddy's daughter Kakani Poojitha claimed that the police had reopened a liquor case which was closed long ago. 'Leaving the main accused, the police arrested my father. The PT warrants were issued against him. The NDA government is misusing power. This is nothing but political vendetta,' she alleged.

The initiative aims at offering access to health, education, basic infrastructure, and livelihood opportunities for the tribal population. Mr. Murthy urged the departments of DRDA, Education, Health, Women and Child Welfare, Panchayat Raj, Rural Water Supply, Electricity, Agriculture, Telecom, and Employment to frequently conduct field visits and fix the problem areas.

Naidu has corrupted all systems in A.P., alleges Sajjala
YSRCP Political Advisory Committee (PAC) coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has lambasted Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, accusing him of corrupting all the systems in the State, including Police Department. He spoke to the media after meeting former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy in Nellore Central Jail on Saturday. 'Mr. Naidu is implementing the Red Book Constitution in this State and is filing cases against opposition leaders at his own will without any evidence. The case filed against Mr. Govardhan Reddy is proof of that. The case was filed by recording a false statement and it will not stand,' he said. Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said that YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will support Mr. Govardhan Reddy's family. 'Illegal cases are being filed against YSRCP leaders for raising their voices and questioning the government's irregularities. Despite this, the YSRCP is getting stronger,' he said. The YSRCP leader also accused the TDP of hatching conspiracies to arrest key leaders of the YSRCP to 'eliminate the opposition'. ' However, our party will rise like a wave,' he said.
