Andhra Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan Criticizes Home Minister Over Crime Surge

Pawan Kalyan threatens to assume the Home Ministry role if law and order do not improve, citing rising crime against women and children.

Pawan Kalyan, Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh, criticized Home Minister Anitha Vangalapudi for her handling of the state's law and order situation.
Kalyan threatened to take over the Home Ministry if the crime rate, particularly against women and children, does not decrease.
The criticism came after a high-profile case involving the rape and murder of a child in Tirupati, which has sparked public outrage.
Home Minister Vangalapudi responded by saying she took Kalyan's comments as encouragement to act more aggressively in her role.
Andhra Pradesh DGP Dwaraka Tirumala Rao stated that the police operate based on the law and not under political pressure.
