Tadepalli, March 26: Former Minister Sake Sailajanath criticized the police machinery, calling repeated judicial rebukes a slap to a deteriorating system. Speaking at the YSRCP office in Tadepalli, he urged police to reform, operate legally for public benefit, and avoid political influence, warning of consequences for ignoring court orders. He stressed honest election duties and urged the revenue department to address the struggles of farmers, students, and women.
Sailajanath highlighted Article 14 of the Constitution, ensuring equality, and cited High Court remarks that prompted his media address. He expressed alarm at unprecedented judicial criticism, accusing police of violating justice principles and acting arbitrarily, a betrayal of their role in a free society. He noted court warnings to the coalition government as a wake-up call against unconstitutional actions.
He stated that police defied Supreme Court guidelines by filing multiple FIRs and making illegal arrests under political pressure, citing a magistrate’s threat to summon the DGP and the absurd claim of monkeys damaging CCTV footage. Sailajanath pointed to cases like Prem Kumar’s arrest in Kurnool for a Guntur reel, where police misrepresented him as an organized criminal, condemned by courts, and Subbareddy’s false arrest record, later bailed out. He questioned the misuse of the BNS 111 Act in social media cases, urging constitutional adherence.
Sailajanath accused the coalition of unethical tactics, including kidnapping YSRCP MPTCs in Palnadu, filing baseless cases in Garlapenta, and attempting to seize posts in YSR Kadapa, Attili, and Yelamanchali despite YSRCP’s majority, with police turning a blind eye. He demanded a focus on welfare schemes, highlighting farmers’ debt crisis, chili farmers’ protests, and illegal cases against lawyers. He called for proper fund allocation to SC, ST, and backward classes, timely fee reimbursements, and an end to political governance, urging police to uphold the Constitution and prioritize public interest.
