AP: YSRCP alleges arrest for Ex-Minister Appalaraju is political vendetta

Vijayawada, July 22 (UNI) Opposition YSR Congress Party leaders Gadikota Srikanth Reddy and Putta Shivashankar have condemned the arrest of former Minister Dr. Seediri Appalaraju, calling it an undemocratic act driven by political vendetta.
The TDP government is using the arrest to divert public attention from its failures in governance and law and order, they alleged addressing mediapersons at the party’s central office in Tadepalli, near here on Wednesday. They further alleged that the Chandrababu Naidu government has targeted the YSRCP leaders and workers since assuming office.
They said the case stemmed from a tragic road accident that should have been investigated under the law, but was instead converted into a political case by arresting both Appalaraju and his son. Srikanth Reddy alleged that the government was implementing a “Red Book Constitution,” using media reports as the basis for criminal cases while targeting opposition leaders and officers.
