YSRC MPs seek Amit Shah's intervention on Andhra Pradesh issues
Some leaders from a political party in India went to talk to a very important government minister.
Their party is called the YSR Congress Party, and the meeting happened on a Thursday.
The leaders are worried because they think their party chief, a former chief minister, is not safe.
The government has given him a special security team, but they say it is still not enough.
They also think a big test to hire teachers had some problems and was not fair.
The leaders said the police are being used to trouble their party members, and some people were arrested unfairly.
They told the minister that a cement factory owned by their party chief's family has been blocked by supporters of the ruling party.
The minister said he would look into the problems and take appropriate action.
The leaders want everyone to be treated fairly and the state to stay peaceful and safe for business.
A YSRC MP delegation met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday to raise Andhra Pradesh issues.
The MPs alleged repeated security lapses for YSRC chief and former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy despite his Z+ security cover.
They demanded an impartial inquiry into alleged DSC-2025 teacher recruitment irregularities, including misuse of the sports quota.
The delegation alleged misuse of police machinery against YSRC leaders, citing the arrests of Seediri Appalaraju and Virupakshi.
They also raised obstruction of Jagan's family-owned Bharati Cements and urged protection of democratic rights and investor confidence.
