In yet another sign of tension within the ruling NDA alliance in Andhra Pradesh, a police officer caught in controversy has become the center of a political rift between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP) leaders.
Bhimavaram Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Jayasurya, who recently drew the ire of Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan over allegations of misconduct and misuse of power, has received unexpected backing from TDP leader and Assembly Deputy Speaker K. Raghu Ramakrishnam Raju.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Jana Sena Party alleged that DSP Jayasurya had been invoking the names of NDA coalition leaders to interfere in civil disputes, misuse his authority, and act in a biased manner. The party also claimed that illegal gambling dens were operating freely under his jurisdiction due to either negligence or complicity.
Taking serious note of these complaints, Pawan Kalyan reportedly spoke directly with the district Superintendent of Police (SP), urging an immediate inquiry and demanding a detailed report on the officer’s conduct. He also wrote to Director General of Police (DGP) Harish Gupta, calling for a comprehensive probe. The Deputy CM further instructed officials to ensure that police personnel refrain from meddling in civil cases, warning that the NDA government would not tolerate “anti-social activities or misuse of authority” at any level.
However, in a dramatic turn, Raghu Ramakrishnam Raju came to the DSP’s defence on Wednesday, describing Jayasurya as an upright and honest officer.
“As far as I know, DSP Jayasurya has a clean record. These allegations might have surfaced because he took strict action against certain vested interests,” Raju said.
He further added that there were no gambling activities operating in his constituency and reiterated the NDA government’s commitment to curbing such illegal practices.
The episode has sparked considerable political discussion, as it highlights the underlying friction within the TDP–Jana Sena alliance, with the Deputy Chief Minister demanding disciplinary action against the officer, while the Deputy Speaker publicly defends him — exposing the fine line between governance and coalition politics in Andhra Pradesh.
