Police to visit TDP's rehabilitation centre: Home Minister M Sucharita

Amaravati: After a hue and cry by the TDP on the alleged attacks by the YSRCP leaders on the party cadre in Palnadu, the State government formed a fact-finding committee on it on Monday. The committee will consist of officials from Revenue as well as Police department, said Home Minister Sucharita.

Addressing a press conference at Secretariat, she stated that the police will visit the victims in rehabilitation centre established by the TDP and would find the facts and will take decisions accordingly.

The minister informed that till now the TDP did not take permission for the Chalo Atmakur in Palnadu area programme scheduled on September 11. She further said that the police were staying in the villages in the nights to ensure security and safety to the public. The department is going to appoint an Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to address the law and order problems in the region and anybody could come and lodge a complaint with the officer. The office will be located at Piduguralla, she said.

Ridiculing TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu for his criticism on law and order in the area, Sucharita stated that there was no truth in it. She blamed that the TDP has been organising the rehabilitation camps drama by using the paid artistes. The police have registered altogether 79 complaints after the recent general elections, out of which 43 were lodged by TDP and the remaining by YSRCP. The police have been registering cases filed by both the parties and there was no truth in the claims of the TDP in this regard, she said.

At the same time, the Home Minister claimed that there were 6 political murders and several attacks on public took place during the tenure of Chandrababu Naidu from 2014 to 2019, but not even a single such event happened during the YSRCP government. She informed more than 110 people were victimised by the then TDP leaders.

She said that a person namely Gurava Reddy was beaten and threatened by the then MLA Yarapatineni Srinivasa Rao because Gurava Reddy questioned the illegal mining of Srinivasa Rao. She further blamed that Srinivasa Rao also demanded Rs 1 crore from a mining owner.

The Minister informed that the state government is going to establish a new Commissionerate in Guntur city.

Meanwhile, the DGP Goutam Sawang informed that police imposed Section 144 across Palnadu region in Guntur district to ensure Law and Order and peace.

He added that the police officials had already visited the villages and built confidence among people.

The DGP appealed all political parties not to disturb peace in the region by making false statements on Law and Order.
