Jana Sena Party (JSP) president K. Pawan Kalyan on Monday said village/ward volunteer system would emerge as a parallel system to police, bureaucracy and political force in Andhra Pradesh, given its design and the motto of its creator, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
In an interaction with cadre here as part of his Varahi Yatra, Mr. Pawan Kalyan asserted: “The volunteer system has already emerged as dangerous and has become a threat to privacy as it possesses sensitive data of households in the 33,000 villages in the State.” The system must be scrutinised by the police and the bureaucracy.
“Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy designed the volunteer system only to hold control over every household and individuals at the grassroots level,” he said, adding that in a democracy, such a system should not be allowed to be more dominant than any other government wing.
