The Andhra Pradesh Assembly witnessed unsual moments on Thursday when Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu asked all ministers who had been booked during the previous YSR Congress Party government to stand up. The CM was met with loud cheers and thumping from nearly 80 percent of the MLAs responding humorously and the MLAs including Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan stood up responding to the question.

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, Human Resources Development Minister Nara Lokesh, and several other ministers were among those who stood up. One woman MLA humorously mentioned that she had seven cases booked against her.

While presenting a White Paper on the law and order situation during the YSRCP rule, Naidu as per IANS said, "Cases were booked against all those who were fighting politically. He (former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy) did not want to see any of them out (of jail), but people sent all of them directly to the Assembly."

He promised to review all politically motivated cases and punish officials who registered illegal cases. He noted that except for the Babli case, he had no cases against him until the YSRCP came to power, after which 17 cases were booked against him and seven against Pawan Kalyan.

Naidu mentioned that about 60 cases were booked against TDP leader JC Prabhakar Reddy. Cases under the SC/ST Atrocities Act were registered against present Home Minister Anitha Vangalapudi and Speaker Ayyanna Patrudu. Then-MP Raghurama Krishna Raju was tortured in lock-up, Naidu said, alleging that former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy took sadistic pleasure in watching the video of the torture, as per the report.

Further, Naidu vowed to make Andhra Pradesh the best state in the country in terms of law and order.
