Jagan Condemns Police Action Against Pushpa Sreevani in School Relocation Protest
YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy criticized police behavior toward Pushpa Sreevani during a protest against relocating a tribal residential school in Visakhapatnam.
YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly condemned the alleged rude treatment of former Deputy Chief Minister Pushpa Sreevani by police personnel. Sreevani was leading a protest against the proposed shifting of the Government Tribal Residential School at Marikavalasa in Visakhapatnam when the incident occurred.
In his statement, Jagan accused the state government of making 'reckless decisions' that are throwing the Education Department into disarray. He linked the police action to what he described as the administration's high-handed approach in dealing with dissent over educational matters.
The protest at Marikavalasa is part of a broader opposition to the relocation of the tribal school, which locals and leaders argue would disrupt the education of tribal children. Jagan's remarks highlight growing tensions between the opposition and the government over educational policy and law enforcement.
The former chief minister's criticism comes amid ongoing disputes over the management of tribal welfare institutions in Andhra Pradesh. His comments are likely to intensify the political debate over the school's future and the conduct of authorities during protests.
