Amaravati: Taking serious exception to the "baseless reports" published in a section of media on One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme, government advisor (public affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the 'imaginative' stories are aimed at destabilising the state government. Addressing a press conference at YSRCP central office at Tadepalli on Friday, Ramakrishna Reddy said that a section of press that is in support of the opposition party has been spinning baseless stories to mislead people on OTS.

He urged the public to banish all those media houses that are up with false propaganda and told them not to believe such stories.

The bewildered boy called his boss to avert arrest while the police, though reluctantly, initially took him into custody along with rice and drove him to the PS a few miles away.Read more
