“There is hate speech against communities and social groups also, which was used to foment social and public order disturbances in conspiracy with a few media channels,” the release alleged.

The Lok Sabha member from Narsapuram constituency, who had rebelled against the YSRC over a year ago, had been making critical remarks against the Jagan Mohan Reddy government for several months now.
In recent days, he has been attacking the state government over the “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis.
Early this month, he filed a petition in the CBI special court in Hyderabad seeking that the bail granted to Jagan in the ‘quid pro quo’ cases be cancelled fortwith for violating the bail conditions.
Raju cited Jagan’s non-appearance before the trial court for hearings and plea for exemption as grounds for violation of bail conditions.
The YSRC last year petitioned Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking disqualification of the rebel MP for publicly adopting a stand “discordant with the party line”.
Raju himself is facing a CBI case over alllegedly defrauding several banks by obtaining loans running into several hundred crores of rupees.
