Former Andhra Pradesh Minister and YSR Congress Party leader Jogi Ramesh's house was vandalised and set on fire in Ibrahimpatnam, Vijayawada, as political tensions rise in the state.
"The central government has not given any special grant for any project... They should have given some special preference and special allotment for Andhra Pradesh...," he said.
This comes after the YSRCP leader was arrested at his residence in Vikas Nagar in Guntur on Saturday after police surrounded the place, took him into custody, and escorted him in a police van, according to Guntur West DSP.
The sources said, "A large mob ransacked the premises, damaged household articles, and torched parts of the house, triggering panic in the locality. Residents said the attackers acted in an organised manner, leaving behind destruction and fear."
large number of TDP activists gathered outside Ambati Rambabu's house on Saturday night. The group allegedly damaged his residence and office, vandalised vehicles parked on the premises, and set some of them on fire.

Denouncing the incident, YSRCP National Spokesperson Margani Bharat questioned the poor state of law and order in the state. He alleged that a TDP MLA claimed to have gone to attack Rambabu at his residence. Bharat further demanded that the Union Home Minister Amit Shah take action agains
