YSRCP member Vijay Sai Reddy raised the issue of instant loan app fraud operated by Chinese companies in India.

Reddy said, “The instant loan app threatens to leak sensitive information and the government should take note of this as most of the apps are operated by Chinese companies. ”

He said the police arrested only the Indian agents and the companies were operating from China, and were also working without permission of the RBI.

Last month the Intelligence Fusion & Strategic Operations (IFSO) Unit of Delhi Police’s Special Cell arrested two persons, including a Chinese national for extorting money from people through instant loan applications, an official said on Wednesday.

The accused have been identified as Chinese national Yu Zhang, the mastermind behind the extortion racket and Vineet Jhaver, a resident of Haryana.

The police said that so far more than Rs 150 crore have been siphoned off through accounts provided by Vineet and Zhang.

In August this year, the IFSO unit had busted various modules of instant loan applications having a Chinese connection, and arrested 22 people for allegedly siphoning off Rs 500 crore to China by the hawala route or by investing in cryptocurrency.

YSR Congress Parliamentary Party leader and Rajya Sabha member V Vijayasai Reddy on Tuesday said that he would soon launch a news channel and even enter into the real estate business.

He told media persons that Eenadu Ramoji Rao was giving fake news against him and the YSR Congress only to unpopular the YSR Congress and thus make Chandrababu Naidu as the chief minister. He said that there is unrest in the dominant community represented by Chandrababu Naidu and working hard to make him the chief minister.

“Just because he (Ramoji Rao) has a news channel and newspaper on hand, he is reporting all nonsense. In what way I am connected with the properties of my daughter’s in-laws? In fact, they were into the pharmaceutical business for decades,” Vijayasai Reddy said, referring to the reports in Eenadu that he had purchased lands in Visakhapatnam.

The MP asked whether the properties purchased now by Sailaja Kiran belonged to her parents. He also asked whether the properties purchased by Nara Bhrahmani belonged to Nandamuri Balakrishna.

Vijasai Reddy said that Ramoji Rao, who grabbed the properties of others for his offices, lands for the Ramoji Film City and illegally collected deposits in Margadarsi had no right to find fault with others.

He further dared the TDP leaders and Ramoji Rao to ask for the CBI or Enforcement Directorate enquiry into the illegal properties owned by him as well as Ramoji Rao. He sought to advise the TDP leaders and Eenadu group chairman to stop throwing mud at others, particularly the YSR Congress leaders.

He claimed that he had no properties in Daspalla lands in Vizag and the Eenadu had referred to him only to defame the YSR Congress and thus help the TDP. However, he asserted that people are wise enough and they would never vote for the TDP. “Ramoji Rao or Radha Krishna would never succeed in bringing Chandrababu Naidu back to power in the state,” Vijayasai Reddy asserted.

YSRCP Parliamentary Party leader V. Vijayasai Reddy on Thursday claimed that Andhra Pradesh’s finances are better than that of the Central government.

He said the financial position of Andhra Pradesh is also better than the financial position of many states.

Reddy said from 2019 to till now, the Centre’s debts have gone up by 50 per cent while during the rule of the YSRCP in the same period, Andhra Pradesh’s debts increased by only 43 per cent.

The YSRCP leader also alleged that the Centre is doing grave injustice to the states. He said the Centre was raising cesses and surcharges without giving the states their due share.

The Rajya Sabha member slammed Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for comparing the situation of Andhra Pradesh with Sri Lanka.

“Andhra Pradesh will not turn into a Sri Lanka but Chandrababu may flee to Singapore like Rajapaksa,” he said referring to the former Sri Lankan President.

Reddy noted that Andhra Pradesh’s exports are much higher than the exports of Sri Lanka.

He said it was the TDP government headed by Chandrababu Naidu which went for indiscriminate borrowings between 2014 and 2019. He claimed that the state’s debts during the period rose by 119 per cent while the Centre’s debts had gone up by only 60 per cent.

Stating that Andhra Pradesh is ruled by an effective leader like Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, he said Naidu was deliberately spreading falsehood about the state.

YSRCP General Secretary, MP Vijayasai Reddy thanked all those who made the two-day plenary a grand success and flayed TDP and its friendly media for its false propaganda. He claimed that the TDP and its media were not able to digest the success of the YSR Congress Party plenary.

Speaking to the media at the party’s headquarters here on Sunday, Vijayasai Reddy said that the plenary has enthused the party cadre with the discussions on a wide range of public issues including welfare activities. The plenary worked like a booster dose for the rank and file which would help the party to retain power in the 2024 general elections, he added. He said that almost nine lakh people have come to the Plenary, which made Chandrababu Naidu burst into tears seeing such overwhelming response.

He stated that the Plenary was held on the lines of State interests, three-years governance that prioritized the downtrodden communities and women, and the revolutionary reforms like RBKs, Nadu-Nedu and medicare. He said that the Opposition and a section of the media were confined to criticizing the meeting, as they turned blind, while the entire State was happy with the Plenary.

Vijayasai Reddy stated that after 2024 polls Chadrababu Naidu’s chip would go completely out of sight, as people would reject him. He termed Naidu as of a psycho and sadistic nature, as he is being a desperate power monger. He said that Chandrababu has no moral right to be a politician since his life is full of betraying people and backstabbing dear ones.

Count on Vijay Sai Reddy to spring surprise after surprise. He is known to surprise not just his adversaries but also his own party leaders. The other day Vjayasai met RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at Narsapuram. Not just that, he also tweeted a photograph of his with Mohan Bhagwat. He had also tagged the tweet with the RSS chief and the RSS.org, the RSS website.

Vijay Sai, whose pro-Hindu leanings are well-known, has also tweeted thus: “It was a honor meeting Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh @DrMohanBhagwatJi today 27th December, 2021 at Narsapuram. Had the wonderful opportunity of seeking his blessings and listening to his words of guidance. @RSSorg. “

The tweet is sure to raise hackles not just in his party, the YSRCP, but also in other political parties. Vijayasai’s open admission of his admiration for the RSS and his chef are sure to create a ruckus in YSRCP. Vijayasai’s adversaries in the party could use this to attack him. But, Vijay Sai perhaps is also sending a message that he is closer to the RSS and the BJP establishment. This is a sort of warning, say analysts. At the same time, he is perhaps poking at the TDP, which is now trying to get closer to the BJP.

In fact, many insiders know that Vijayasai had played a key role in bringing Jagan closer to Hindu seers, especially the Vizag Seer Swami Swaroopananda. He made Jagan shed his pro-Christian image to woo the Hindu voters of the state.

Senior YSRCP leader and Rajya Sabha MP V. Vijayasai Reddy said on Monday that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is rectifying the mistake of contract jobs introduced by former Chief Minister and TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu.

“Chandrababu Naidu had introduced the contractual jobs mistake. Jagan Mohan Reddy is correcting it,” said Reddy.

Reddy reminded that 51,000 Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) employees were absorbed into the government fold under the YSRCP government, terming it as “no ordinary development”.

Meanwhile, the YSRCP leader upped the ante against Mansas Trust’s reinstated chairman and senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Ashok Gajapati Raju.

Hinting at Raju, Reddy claimed that people in north Andhra Pradesh know who blocked the ‘panchagramala’ settlement and alleged that nobody believed in Raju’s stories.

“Do not pose like an innocent person Ashok. Everybody understood what would happen in Mansas Trust once Babu’s men got into it,” alleged Reddy.
