Vizianagaram: TDP questions motive behind Vijayasai's sudden visit

Vizianagaram: TDP leaders on Saturday accused YCP MP Vijayasai Reddy of making an unscheduled visit ahead of their party president N Chandrababu Naidu only to create tension in Ramatheertham area. This reflected the factionist mentality of the ruling YSRCP which has been suppressing the fundamental rights of all sections from the beginning, they said.

TDP AP president K Atchannaidu asked why Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy broke his promise to order CBI inquiry into the Antarvedi temple chariot burning. "The YSRCP leaders are only interested in the sale of the TTD properties and the precious lands of the MANSAS Trust. The Chief Minister is trying to perpetuate his unjust and unfair regime by dividing the people along caste and communal lines," he said.

TDP politburo member Varla Ramaiah termed it as a failure on the part of DGP D Gautam Sawang for not preventing Vijayasai Reddy and YSRCP leaders from creating disturbances during the Naidu's tour. Instead of doing their duty, the police connived with the YSRCP leaders to create hurdles for the convoy of the Opposition Leader of AP, he said adding that the DGP would have take sole responsibility for the untoward incidents that took place at Ramatheertham.

The TDP leaders said that the miscreants and gangsters were taking advantage of the inefficiency of the government and the police. This was why the incidents of desecration and vandalism were taking place repeatedly at many temples in different corners of the state.
