Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has now issued a clarion call. He stated that, over the past few days, numerous false cases have been filed against social media activists and workers in the state, resembling a targeted drive.
So far, cases have been registered against around 50-60 social media activists, with the intention of instilling fear. "We need to face this head-on," he emphasized.
He also urged, "Coordinators in every constituency should reassure the social media activists in your areas that we are here for them. When someone faces trouble, you or your representative should step in, speak strongly on their behalf, and provide legal support. We must respond immediately as soon as cases are registered. Coordinators should take more initiative. Whatever happens to social media activists, we will respond and stand by them. Anyone who needs legal assistance will receive immediate support from the central office. Let's move forward with the coordination of the YSRCP legal team, social media team, senior leaders, and all constituency coordinators."
However, the question arises- Where is his son, Sajjala Bhargav, who worked as the head of social media during the YSRCP regime?
A point worth underlining is that the social media heads from that period are now living comfortably doing their businesses, some even abroad, while the innocent social media employees are the ones facing legal troubles and harassment now. This is the current state of affairs.
"Why is Sajjala pointing this out now, when his son is no longer the head of social media? Why was he silent when Bhargav was in that position? Instead of addressing everyone, why doesn’t Ramakrishna Reddy call out his son, Sajjala Bhargav, to handle this issue, if he was a real party warrior?" questioned a YCP leader.
In fact, there were similar arrests of YCP social media personnel even through the courts during the YCP’s regime. But Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy did not address the issue with this level of urgency at that time—possibly because his son, Sajjala Bhargav, was leading the social media wing back then.
