Jagan Slams Chandrababu Naidu Over 'Andhra Police Posing As FBI'


(MENAFN- IANS) Amaravati, Sep 16 (IANS) YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday slammed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu over the state police posing as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States.

“Under Chandrababu Naidu Garu, Red Book Governance goes global; now featuring the Andhra Pradesh Police posing as the FBI! Fake identity, real threat to democracy,” posted the former Chief Minister on X.

“Mr Chandrababu Naidu Garu, is this policing, or state-sponsored deception aimed at politically motivated harassment? Your police force identifying themselves as the US Federal Bureau of Investigation while seeking the removal of posts from X is the most deplorable act that tarnishes the reputation of our state and country,” the YSRCP chief wrote.

He said X has confirmed that the takedown request originated from an official Andhra Pradesh Police email address, not the FBI's.“Yet the officer names 'FBI' as the sender organisation. Who ordered this takedown request? Why was the FBI's identity misused? Was it a deliberate attempt to mislead X and silence voices questioning your government on 1. Unfulfilled Super Six and Super Seven promises 2. DSC Scam 3. Amaravati looting 4. State Debt, Governance failures & harassment,” asked YS Jagan.

“The police uniform is meant to protect the law, not to enforce your political censorship. Dragging the name of a foreign investigating agency into a political takedown operation has disgraced Andhra Pradesh and severely damaged the credibility of its police force. The energy spent trying to muzzle critics should instead be directed to fulfil Super Six and Super Seven promises: Support farmers during these tough drought times, create real jobs, drive development, and address what actually matters to the people of Andhra Pradesh,” the former CM said.

“Social media makes it impossible to hide behind curated narratives. If this government is confident in its record, it should answer criticism with performance and transparency and not with censorship and harassment,” he added.
