The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly condemned the arrest of senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao and the “organised attacks on Sakshi media” offices across the State, calling it a deliberate and orchestrated assault on democracy.
In a statement posted on X on Tuesday (June 10, 2025), Mr. Jagan said that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is twisting and misrepresenting words that Kommineni Srinivasa Rao, had never said, just to falsely implicate him and justify an unlawful arrest. As part of a pre-planned conspiracy, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led mobs have vandalised Sakshi unit offices in several districts under the guise of protecting women’s dignity. “This is nothing but political vendetta masked as concern for women,” he stated.
