The YSRCP alleged that the TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has served 680 notices to the opposition party’s social media activists, registered 147 cases and arrested 49 of them.
YSRCP supremo YS Jaganmohan Reddy alleged that only a few harassment cases came to the fore while many party activists were being oppressed.
Reddy asserted that the government could at most issue a “CrPC 41A notice for a social media post it dislikes”, but it cannot not allegedly “pick people up and beat them.” “Booking 41A notice (CrPC) is the maximum it can do. That’s where it ends. You cannot take people and beat them up—that’s not acceptable,” Jaganmohan said at a press conference held at his Tadepalli residence.
