Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan tore into the YSRCP government for the rise in crime rate in the state. National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data supported Kalyan’s claim as it indicated a significant rise in crimes against women and children in 2022. This gives weight to Kalyan’s criticism of Jagan-led government for fostering “a culture of impunity” that led to this disturbing trend.
