Ananthapuram, Condemning the political attacks and vindictive arrests of YSR Congress leaders, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has said the attacks are State sponsored and government offices have become a haven to settle political scores.
“The MRO office has become the venue for the murder of Prasada Reddy who was called by the officials to the office on phone and was brutally murdered on arrival. When tempers ran high following the murder and people stormed the office seeking justice, cases were booked and the Government has put the two-time MLA Gurunatha Reddy in jail.
There is no proper explanation or action on the murder of our leader but Gurunatha Reddy along with his followers went to the MRO office, they were booked on charges of arson and sent to jail which shows the discrimination of state machinery that is acting at the behest of Chief Minister,” he told reporters after visiting Gurunatha Reddy in the jail here on Monday.
The murder taking place in the MRO office and the invitation coming from the office shows that the Government machinery is being blatantly misused. There was no action on the ghastly murder taking place in the Government office but when our party leaders came to the venue in protest, false cases were foisted on them,” he said.
Just one week before the murder of Prasada Reddy, our party single window Chairman Vijay Bhaskar was called to the office by the CEO and was asked to quit and when he refused, he was beaten to death.
Calling political adversaries to government offices and settling political scores has become a pattern and we have to fight this injustice, he said.
The Leader of Opposition after visiting Gurunatha Reddy at the jail has also visited the houses of Prasad Reddy and Vijay Bhaskar and consoled the bereaved family members.
