‘Corruption is rampant in Andhra Pradesh’ Says Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy

Amaravati: YSR Congress Party President and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday alleged that there is rampant corruption in the coalition government headed by Chandrababu Naidu.

He claimed that corruption has spread widely, especially in the liquor business, illegal sand mining, and Amaravati land deals.

Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that works for the state capital, Amaravati, are being awarded double the cost compared to Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

Addressing a meeting of legal cell lawyers from the erstwhile Krishna and Guntur districts, he accused the TDP-led government of betraying even the lawyers, just like it had misled the people with false schemes like Super-6 and Super-7.

He alleged that ‘belt shops’ (illegal liquor outlets) are being run in every village, permit rooms are being sold illegally, and liquor is being sold at prices much higher than the MRP. He criticised the government for collecting huge commissions in construction projects and misusing mobilisation advances.

Jagan Mohan Reddy said the YSRCP had signed power purchase agreements at Rs 2.49 per unit, while the current government is signing them at Rs 4.60. He also said that people are being forced to pay bribes even to start a small business or industry. He accused some police officials of directly supporting gambling clubs and illegal activities.
