ChiefMinister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday mounted a sharp political attack on the YSR Congress Party, accusing it of backing controversial YouTuber Prasna Ravan, encouraging anti-Hindu narratives and promoting elements that threaten law and order.

Addressing the 'Mee Bhoomi Mee Hakku' public meeting at Banaganapalle in Nandyal district, Naidu reacted for the first time to the controversy surrounding Prasna Ravan, against whom the state government has invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), alleging that he propagated Maoist ideology, attempted to radicalise youth and create social unrest.

The Chief Minister alleged that Prasna Ravan had insulted Hindu epics, made derogatory remarks against Lord Rama and Sita, and supported terrorism and Pakistan. Claiming that the YSR Congress had extended financial support to such individuals, Naidu questioned the Opposition's motives and asked whether such actions were justified. Without naming specific individuals, Naidu accused the YSRCP of encouraging "rowdies, ganja gangs, drug users and anti-social elements" during its tenure. Continued on Page 7
