Naidu urges EC to check political violence in state

[TELUGU]

Vijayawada: TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu demanded immediate intervention by the Election Commission to check increasing political violence in the state. He said on Tuesday that at a time when the election process is on in the state, the ruling YSRCPis escalating political violence. Asserting that Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will be losing power in another 50 days, Naidu alleged he was encouraging political violence as the fear of losing power is haunting him.

Naidu said in a statement that the YSRCP ‘goondas’ who are in deep depression are resorting to attacks on the TDP activists in various parts of the state. The TDP chief mentioned the killing of two TDP supporters during the last couple of days. Mulaiah of Gadikota in GIddalur Assembly constituency was brutally hacked to death for attending the recent Praja Galam meeting held at Chilakaluripet while 21-year-old Imam Hussain of Chagalamarri in Allagadda constituency too was mercilessly murdered. The car of the TDP activists in Macherla, was set on fire.

Demanding that the police act in an impartial way and initiate stringent action against the culprits responsible for all these three incidents, Chandrababu strongly condemned the murder and faction politics of the YSRCP. Assuring the affected families that the TDP will solidly stand by them, Chandrababu alleged that the superintendents of police (SPs) of Prakasam, Nandyal and Palnadu districts are all dancing to the tunes of the ruling dispensation. Taking advantage of the support of these SPs, the YSRCP goondas are ruling the roost in their respective areas, he said.
