Why Jagan afraid of social media, questions Lokesh
Amaravati, June 30 (Maxim News): TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh on Thursday asked why Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was increasingly afraid and intolerant of social media and even youtube channels.
Nara Lokesh condemned the ‘unlawful’ arrest of TDP activist and youtube channel operator Venkatesh, a resident of Dharanikota village in Amaravati mandal in Guntur district. The CM was targeting the social media out of frustration and to cover up his failures.
In a statement here today, Lokesh said Jagan Mohan Reddy seemed to be terrified of the media. Jagan was afraid of seeing the thumbnail of a youtube channel. How can this CM be called a ‘single simham’? He said some police men were surpassing even the ruling YSRCP goondas in victimising the Opposition party, social media activists and general public. They trespassed into the house of Venkatesh at night and arrested him without a valid reason. He said the police broke the electric bulbs in the house before barging into it. Even their faces were clearly recorded in the videos. All those officers, who were violating the laws to earn Jagan’s patronage, would have to pay a heavy fine in future.
The TDP MLC advised the Chief Minister to boldly face criticism if he was really sure of people’s support for his welfare programs. He expressed shock over the death of five persons in the tragic mishap of high tension lines falling on auto rickshaw in Sri Satya Sai district. The accident took place at Chillakondayyapalli in Tadimarri mandal.
Lokesh blamed the negligence of the electricity department for the ghastly mishap. The government should pay suitable compensation to the families of the deceased. Best medical treatment should be provided to those injured in the incident, he added. (Maxim News)
