Amaravati, July 19, 2025 –
Speculation surrounding the possible arrest of YSR Congress Party Chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has intensified once again. For months, political circles and media outlets aligned with the opposition have been hinting at his arrest, citing ongoing investigations and legal proceedings.
Liquor Scam Probe Gains Momentum
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) looking into the alleged liquor scam during the YSRCP regime has ramped up its efforts. So far, over *40 individuals have been identified as accused, with *11 already arrested. Officials are said to be building a case with solid evidence and credible witness statements, some of which reportedly point toward the party leadership.
According to sources, the SIT is now focusing heavily on *Rajampet MP Mithun Reddy, aiming to gather a formal statement that could strengthen the case against Jagan. If Mithun’s statement proves substantial, *legal proceedings against Jagan could be launched more confidently. In addition, former MP V. Vijayasai Reddy is also likely to be questioned again in connection with the case.
Political Strategy Behind the Scenes?
Inside sources suggest that the state government and investigative teams are *waiting for the right time to act. Their strategy might involve weakening Jagan’s public image first, ensuring that *his arrest doesn’t generate sympathy among the masses. Political analysts believe that the administration is taking every step cautiously to avoid backlash or a public outcry.
On the other hand, some claim that a possible delay is due to the government ensuring it has an airtight case backed by strong evidence and multiple corroborating testimonies before making a high-profile move.
