Jagan, Stop Using ACB, JCB and PCB: RRR Published by GulteDesk May 07, 2021
YCP rebel MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju suggested Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to stop using ACB, JCB and PCB against opposition leaders and his detractors.
He said that Jagan was using arm-twisting tactics against his rivals to keep them under check and using various bodies like the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) or Pollution Control Board (PCB) to put a check on them.
“In case of TDP leader Dhulipalla Narendra, he used ACB and when it came to another TDP leader Palla Srinivas, JCB was used to demolish his building. Similarly, if any company is flourishing but the proprietor is not heeding to Jagan’s orders, cases are registered by the PCB to check his business,” the MP explained and suggested that Jagan stop his goondaism.

“Until the doors of hell are closed we will not go back to our homes!”
“Marana vaasal moodum varai, Nangal veedu vaasal sella mattom!”
It has been almost three years since the police opened fire on a crowd of men, women and children who gathered with this slogan on their lips in Thoothukudi. On May 22, 2018 the state unleashed extreme violence on a crowd protesting against the Sterlite copper plant of the Vedanta group for the severe pollution it was causing, endangering the lives of local residents.
The police firing killed 13 civilians and injured many others. Some of those killed were part of the protest, others were caught in the crossfire.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that the veneer of civilization is very thin. we did not have knowledge, resources and technologies to deal with such a devastating pandemic. More than 3.1 million people worldwide have died from Covid-19 and more than 146 million cases have been recorded till date. This pandemic is a crisis not today, this is only the beginning. The other viruses of animal origin are just around the corner. A future pandemic could be worse than the ongoing crisis because we are pushing nature to its limit by destroying and degrading amazingly diverse ecosystems, like tropical forests, rivers, lakes, mountains, coral reefs and many more and ultimately removing natural buffers and expanding the interface, the touch points, between wildlife and people where pandemics emerge.
