Jagan Mohan Reddy Plans Mobile App, Seen As An Answer To Nara Lokesh's Red Book
Hyderabad: Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced that his party is set to launch a new mobile application next week to document and digitally store instances of alleged harassment and injustice faced by YSRCP workers and the general public at the hands of current government officials. The announcement was made during a Political Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting on Tuesday, where Jagan Reddy detailed the functionality and intent behind the upcoming app. He said the application would allow individuals to register complaints, provide detailed accounts of incidents, name the officials involved, and upload supporting evidence such as photos or documents. "If anyone across the state faces harassment from any official, they can go to the app, which will prompt them to explain how they were wronged," Jagan Reddy explained to party members. "Complainants can detail who harassed them and how, and they will also have the option to upload supporting evidence. Once submitted, the complaint will be securely stored in the YSRCP Digital Library server." Jagan Reddy made it clear that this "Digital Library" is being built with a long-term vision. He said when the YSRCP returns to power, these digital records would be meticulously reviewed, and those responsible for alleged injustices would be held accountable. "The moment our government comes to power, we will open this digital library and ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law," Jagan Reddy asserted, delivering a strong warning to officials currently serving. "Those responsible will be brought to justice with interest. No one will be spared. We will show cinema. What you sow, you shall reap," he said. This initiative could be seen as a direct counter to the "Red Book" strategy employed by TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh during his party's time in opposition, where he publicly noted down names of officials and political figures allegedly involved in harassing TDP leaders and cadres. Upon coming to power in June 2024, Lokesh reportedly began implementing his "Red Book" constitution, with several officials and YSRCP leaders facing consequences. Jagan's mobile app is being seen YSRCP's answer to Nara Lokesh's Red Book.

Change should begin from voters
With reference to "Opposition or Obstruction? A nation held hostage by political rowdyism", I wish to put forth a few more points related to today's politics and the politicians who regularly hit the front page of every newspaper with their own agenda. As the writer of the article opined, whether it is Jagan Reddy, or Rahul Gandhi, or Sanjay Gaikwad, anyone else, the job of them is only to criticise their opponents, irrespective of the good it is done. Because, it is merely a political vendetta. Political leaders in all parties have decided to not extend their cooperation and support, even if some good is done by the ruling party, vice versa. The reason is very simple. They want to grab the power from others' hands, by criticising and defaming their opponents. They never bother about the concerns and issues of people, they are more worried about the power and the money they should accumulate for their future generations and expenses. Therefore, thinking about good politics and good politicians is just a waste of time. Instead, a thought should be given as how to bring about a change in voters, who are easily lured by the political parties and the party functionaries for mere temporary freebies, such as gas cylinders for women, nets for fishermen; sheep for shepherds; 6 kgs fine rice for white ration card holders. A few families in India are rich, not all Indians. So, people must understand the nature and attitude, language of politicians, instead blindly believing them. Whether, it is CBN, Jagan, Revanth Reddy, KCR, or Rahul Gandhi, all of them have their own interests. Therefore, speaking against one another is to satisfy the voters/ common people . Politicians are always right from their own perspective since their single point agenda is how to get to power, or how to retain power. So, the problem is not with the politicians; it is with the voters who will trust them blindly for mere provisional benefits. Let us expect a change in people, but not in politicians. Dr Venkat Yadav Avula, Hyderabad NDA should remember their days in Oppn Apropos 'Opposition or obstruction.., there is no doubt the political rivalry has now become personal enmity, and the days when MP's sat together for a cup of tea together after a ferocious debate against each other have been long one. One cannot really blame the present opposition because they are only doing the things that were done to them when the UPA was in power. Entire sessions of parliament were wasted due to the tactics of the NDA in opposition. There is no doubt that the level of debate has deteriorated and abusive language is freely used across all parties. All parties try to protect their own members no matter how serious is the offence. Before blaming the congress led UPA opposition in power, the writer would do well to remember the behaviour of the BJP members then. Both government and opposition are needed in a democracy. By declaring that its objective was a congress mukt Bharat, the PM Modi has sent a wrong message about wanting to finish off the opposition. Can any opposition take kindly to this statement of intent? Anthony Henriques, Mumbai Is Congress becoming a pariah in national scenario? The Congress party despite being the main opposition in Parliament is bereft of direction and goal, when it comes to the priorities of extending a constructive support to the government in power. The frustration of Congress leaders is evident that is reflective in the body language and means adapted deliberately to work against the centre. The Congress is forgetful of its role as a responsible opposition, a trend that is evident in other political groups too – big and small. It is time to identify and differentiate between a democratic opposition and the coterie of political conglomerates out to wreck and destroy democracy, masquerading as opposition in the country. It is another that people of the country cannot be fooled by the tricks and tantrums being played out by the opposition. The Congress's ambition of coming to power resorting to shortcut methods that are deliberately anti-national and anti-social are being unerringly watched and understood by the masses. S Lakshmi, Hyderabad Oppn should shun constant confrontation It is with reference to the editorial page article "Opposition or Obstruction'. In a democracy, the Opposition plays a crucial role of holding the ruling party accountable and providing an alternative vision for governance. The Opposition activities ensure transparency, promote healthy debate and contribute to more robust and responsive democratic process. The Opposition is often seen as a potential alternative government especially in parliamentary systems The protests by opposition in Farmer's protedt compelled Union government to withhold the act .But however today, India's parliamentary Opposition is not merely fragmented but also in disarray. Also some opposition leaders engage in activities that undermine democratic principles such as obstructing legislative processes spreading misinformation or inciting violence These actions weaken democratic institutions and erode public trust. The present protest by opposition against Special Intensive Revision in Bihar is crucial in deciding the fate of immigrants in Bihar. Instead of constant confrontations the Opposition should be involved in key discussions and legislative processes to ensure better governance. P Victor Selvaraj, Tirunelveli

Andhra HC grants interim relief to Jagan Reddy in convoy death case
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has granted interim relief to YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in a case related to the death of a party supporter during his convoy's passage through Guntur district. While hearing a plea filed by Jagan Reddy seeking quashing of the FIR against him, the court observed, 'Despite all precautions, accidents still happened even at the Kumbh Mela.' This remark came as the court allowed interim protection to the former chief minister, whose name was listed as an accused in the case. Fatal incident during rally The incident occurred on June 18, when a 53-year-old man, C Singayya, was run over by a vehicle in Jagan Reddy's convoy at Satanapalle in Palnadu district. The YSRCP chief had been visiting Rentapalla village to meet the family of a party leader who had died by suicide last year. The convoy was travelling via the Etukuru bypass when the accident took place. Following the incident, the police identified the vehicle involved as belonging to Jagan Reddy's convoy. A complaint was filed by the victim's wife, Cheeli Lurdhu Mary, and an FIR was lodged the same day. Initially registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by negligence, the case was later escalated to include Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and Section 49 (abetment), based on evidence including CCTV and drone footage. Political tensions and legal battle The registration of the FIR prompted a sharp response from Jagan Reddy and the YSRCP, who accused the newly-formed government led by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of using the incident for political vendetta. Jagan labelled the FIR as a 'distraction tactic' and questioned the alleged lapses in his Z+ security protocol. In his petition to the high court, Jagan claimed that he had been falsely implicated and submitted statements from the victim's family along with proof that compensation had been extended by party leaders. Guntur SP S Satish Kumar confirmed that Singayya was crushed under the wheels of a vehicle from the ex-CM's convoy. He added that further investigation had led to the inclusion of additional names in the FIR, including Jagan's driver Ramana Reddy, personal assistant K Nageshwar Reddy, senior leader YV Subbareddy, former legislator Perni Venkataramaiah, and ex-minister Vidadala Rajini. Kumar said the probe was ongoing and that legal proceedings would continue in accordance with the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. [With agency inputs]
