Chandrababu arrogant, anti-dalit: Vasireddy Padma

Hyderabad, Feb 10 : Reiterating that Chandrababu Naidu’s arrogance has come to the fore once again by not even repenting for his anti-dalit remarks, YSR Congress has said that he has been levelling baseless allegations against the Leader of Opposition for every failure of his government and has demanded a CBI probe in to the Tuni arson case.

‘It is shameful on part Chandrababu Naidu for passing such derogatory remarks against dalits and despite the strong protests, there is no shade of repentance on his part which shows the arrogance levels at which he is operating and his criminal mind-set has been exposed by blaming the opposition party and its leader for each of the state’s failures,’ party spokesperson Vasidredy Padma told reporters here on Wednesday.

While in Delhi he has addressed the media and levelled baseless allegations on our Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and blamed him for all the failures of the Government and even went ahead calling names and attributing motives.

Close on the heels of the Tuni arson case, Chandrababu Naidu started blaming our Party and our leader and was setting the tone for police investigation. A wise Chief Minister would wait for the inputs from the police and then speak out.

‘Here the situation is different. For everything that happens YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party is blamed even before the investigation starts. We demand a CBI inquiry into the Tuni arson case as highly placed people in the Ministry of Railways had asked our Party MP YV Subba Reddty, while he went to give representation ahead of the Budget, as to why the government could not call the fire tenders to put down the fire of all the compartments of the Ratnachal Express.

‘There was no police force, despite the government being aware of the fact that tempers were running high and no police or fire tenders came on time, but Chief Minister sitting a safe distance away tells media that it was the handiwork of YSR Congress.

This is the objectionable part. We demand that a CBI probe be ordered into the probe,’ she said.

Chief Minister going to the media or issuing statements even before the investigation or inquiry begins has been the pattern and such deeds would misfire. Even in the assault case on the women officer Vanjakshi, Chief Minister has told media that she was at fault giving the opinion of the government and how can any Commission conduct an impartial inquiry in face of such remarks from the Chief Minister, she said.

Even during the arson in fields of farmers who refused to part with their land, the Chief Minister had blamed us first and then ordered an inquiry. Such acts would boomerang and spell doom to the government, she said.
