YSRCP attacks govt. over Karumuri’s arrest, calls it ‘political vendatta’
The YSR Congress Party's West Godavari District president, Mudunuri Prasada Raju, criticized the State government's arrest of former Excise Minister and YSRCP leader Karumuri Nageswara Rao, describing it as a "political vendetta". Rao was apprehended by officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Hyderabad on Sunday, in connection with a money laundering case related to an alleged State liquor transportation scam.
During a press conference in Bhimavaram, Raju alleged that the NDA government targeted Rao for his role as YSRCP's West Godavari district coordinator and for exposing the government's shortcomings. He stated that the arrests of multiple YSRCP leaders, including Rao, were aimed at deflecting public attention from the NDA government's failure to fulfill its welfare promises.
