TDP unleashing terror tactics

Affirming that TDP Government is unleashing a reign of terror in Andhra Pradesh, targeting opposition leaders and women In particular, YSR Congress has said this is an act of cowardice which stems from the guilt of failure of Chandrababu Naidu on various fronts. ‘The way Rajampet MP Mithun Reddy was arrested and the taking our Party MLAs and leaders into custody for protesting against the arrest shows the vindictive attitude of the State with a political agenda,’ party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters here on Monday.

‘The two-month old issue was blown out of proportion with political instigation as Mithun Reddy had only questioned the airport manager for the inconvenience caused to the passengers and the official had apologized. The same day Chief Minister arrives at the airport and instigates the manager to file a complaint against Mithun Reddy and a case was booked for assaulting the airport manager. If that was true the CC TV footage would have taken into consideration.

Though Mithun Reddy, who hails from a political family that has a long standing public life in the district, was prepared to surrender the government opted to make a big issue and arrested him in an unpleasant manner and when our Party leaders have spontaneously held protest demonstrations, they too were taken into custody and cases were foisted on them.

When the Government Whip Chintamaneni Prabhakar assaulted a woman official in full public glare, there was no case and the Chief Minister tells the lady officer to be in her limits which gives more courage to the TDP leader who used filthy language on the Anganwadi women workers who are on strike.

Inside the Assembly with the Call Money Sex Racket blowing out in full form, our party MLA RK Roja was suspended for one year, which is unprecedented. All these are incidents, which the TDP government has resorted to terrorise people, but these are acts of cowardice and are tactics to cover up the failures’, she said.

Taking objection to the publicity hype that crores of rupees are pouring into the state in the form of investments and the three-day Davos tour of Chief Minister and the propaganda thereon, she said, such moves will dilute our claim for the special status. We will be losing on both counts as the inflated figures of investment, of which hardly 10% would materialize, will hamper the special status claim. The state has many successful entrepreneurs and why are they not availing the opportunity and where is the need to run around the world and spend huge amounts of public money, she said.
