Background:
In a press release, Chief Secretary K.S. Jawahar Reddy stated that the allegations made by Mr. Yadav claiming he had purchased vast tracts of assigned lands in north coastal districts, including Visakhapatnam, were completely baseless.

Chief Secretary’s Statement:
Mr. Reddy stated, “I condemned the charges levelled against me by the JSP leader on May 25 itself, but he kept propagating lies. He, therefore, consulted his lawyers and would be soon issuing a legal notice.”
He further clarified that the accusations made against him were without merit and that he viewed them seriously, considering them to be part of a larger conspiracy against him.
Conclusion:
The legal notice issued by Chief Secretary K.S. Jawahar Reddy underscores his commitment to defending his reputation against unfounded allegations. The issue highlights the importance of responsible public discourse and the consequences of making baseless accusations.
