Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, after completing his Vaarahi yatra in the twin Godavari districts. Is now heading to Tirupati district, where he plans to lodge a complaint with the Superintendent of Police (SP) against Circle Inspector (CI) Anju Yadav. This decision comes after Yadav allegedly slapped a Jana Sena activist named Sai during a recent protest in Srikalahasti.
The incident occurred on July 12 when Jana Sena cadre organized a demonstration against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. While protesting, the police attempted to obstruct the activists, leading to CI Anju Yadav’s confrontation with Sai. Reports suggest that Yadav physically assaulted Sai by slapping him, causing uproar among the Jana Sena members.
Taking the situation seriously, Varla Ramaiah, a TDP politburo member, has already reported Anju Yadav to Director General of Police (DGP) Rajendranath Reddy. Varla Ramaiah had submitted a formal complaint against Anju Yadav with the SP. Pawan Kalyan plans to do the same. Ramaiah berated the actions of few police officers, saying that it damaged the reputation of the entire department. He also charged Anju Yadav with serving as the ruling party’s puppet.
Pawan Kalyan embarked on his Vaarahi Yatra on June 14 with the objective of removing the YCP from power. So far, he has completed two phases of the yatra, covering the united East Godavari district from June 14 to June 30, and the united West Godavari district from July 9 to July 14. Throughout the yatra, he strongly criticized the YCP government for misgovernance and irregularities, denouncing their alleged atrocities and lawlessness.
However, his recent remarks about volunteers sparked controversy when he blamed them for involvement in human trafficking. The State Women’s Commission issued notices to Pawan Kalyan in response to his baseless allegations. Pawan Kalyan’s complaint against CI Anju Yadav adds another chapter to the ongoing political tensions in the state, as parties gear up for the upcoming elections.
