Former minister and YCP senior leader Ambati Rambabu wondered that the TDP government is either neglecting or acting with a vendetta by withdrawing YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s security? He lamented that despite claims by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and the Home Minister that 986 security personnel were assigned to YS Jagan, the reality is far different.
Ambati Rambabu warned that if anything happens to YS Jagan, the alliance government will be held responsible. He expressed anger that the government removed YS Jagan’s security without receiving the SRC report. He said that they were forced to approach the High Court on security after observing mischievous statements from senior TDP leaders. He recalled that Speaker Ch Ayyannapatrudu himself said that Jagan was defeated, but he did not died.
Strongly refuting TDP’s claims that Jagan had a large number of security personnel that no chief minister in the country is having, Rambabu made it clear that during Jagan’s tenure as Chief Minister, he had only 139 security personnel, contrary to the 986 claimed.
He alleged that TDP is spreading a false narrative on Jaganmohan Reddy’s security as a part of a deliberate misinformation campaign, akin to Goebbels’ propaganda. He asserted that the YCP Chief was forced to approach the High Court to ensure that the security arrangements in place at the time of his resignation as Chief Minister were maintained.
Rambabu deplored that the TDP-led coalition government under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu for their negligence and misleading statements regarding the security of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The former minister said that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy remains a highly popular leader even after stepping down as Chief Minister, attracting large crowds wherever he goes. Given such circumstances, he said that adequate security is crucial. However, he expressed concern that the coalition government hastily withdrew security at YS Jagan’s residence and office.
Reacting to misleading statements by Nara Lokesh on social media, he said they were false claims regarding bulletproof vehicles and the number of security personnel accompanying YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He stressed the inadequacies and malfunctions of the provided security vehicles, recounting personal experiences of travelling in them.
