**Nellore, Andhra Pradesh – August 1, 2025** – YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy today accused the NDA government led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu of a politically motivated crackdown on his party members. Speaking to supporters in Nellore, Reddy alleged a systematic campaign of filing false cases against YSRCP leaders and activists who dare to question the government’s policies.

Reddy’s visit centered around a meeting with former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy, currently imprisoned in Nellore Central Jail. Reddy vehemently denied the legitimacy of the charges against Govardhan Reddy, claiming 14 fabricated cases have been lodged against him, ranging from alleged illegal sand mining to distributing liquor during the 2024 elections – a period when the Election Commission held authority.

“As soon as one case is closed, another is immediately filed,” Reddy stated, vowing to provide Govardhan Reddy with unwavering support.

The YSRCP chief further claimed the government deployed an overwhelming police presence, including barricades and road closures, to suppress attendance at his gathering. “About 900 police personnel have been deployed… Still, thousands have come to see the former CM,” he asserted.

Reddy specifically contested allegations regarding the valuation of a property linked to Govardhan Reddy, claiming a Vigilance report contradicted the TDP’s claim of a ₹100 crore palace, putting the estimated value between ₹6-7 crore.

Reddy directly accused Chief Minister Naidu of engaging in “sadism” through these actions, painting a picture of a vengeful government targeting its political opposition. The NDA government has yet to respond to these accusations.
