Politics in Andhra Pradesh have once again flared up after Krishnam Raju, a journalist known for his close proximity to the YSRCP, made highly insensitive and derogatory remarks about the Amaravati region and the women living there—referring to them as prostitutes and calling the area a hub of sex workers.
His comments sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across party lines, with many deeming them inexcusable and deeply offensive.

As expected, the YSRCP stood by its affiliated journalist and defended the media house Sakshi, where the controversial debate took place.
Andhra Pradesh police just arrested Krishnam Raju earlier today in Vizag.

More details regarding the arrest and the case are awaited.
This incident has left a lasting and damaging mark on the YSRCP’s image.
The derogatory comments have not only offended the local public but are expected to politically haunt Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party in the long run—especially among women voters.
It is worth noting that another Sakshi journalist, Komarayan Srinivas Rao, has already been arrested in connection with this case.
