Andhra Pradesh: Nara Lokesh demands FIR against MLA, civic chief
TDP national general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh alleged that ‘YS Raja Reddy constitution’ was being implemented in the state
Kadapa: TDP national general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh alleged that 'YS Raja Reddy constitution' was being implemented in the state. Speaking to media persons along with widow of Nandam Venkata Subbaiah, Aparajitha Reddy, after consoling family members in Proddatur on Wednesday, he said faction culture resumed after Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power in the state.
Lokesh went on an indefinite protest along with Subbaiah's wife Aparajita in the town. He asserted that their protest would continue in Proddatur till the police changed the FIR as per the original complaint filed by Subbaiah's wife.
Lokesh demanded inclusion of the names of local YSRCP MLA Rachamallu Siva Prasada Reddy, his brother-in-law Bangaru Reddy and Proddatur municipal commissioner Anuradha. "Though Aparajita named all these persons in her complaint, the police did not include the same in the FIR copy. The police should explain why they had done this. What was the district SP doing when such injustice was being done?," he said.
Addressing the media along with the slain leader's wife, he said the TDP weavers' leader was murdered in broad daylight in the presence of the common public and officials just for putting a video on social media. The YSRCP MLA resorted to this ghastly murder out of personal jealousy over the fact that Subbaiah was rising as a BC leader. He also rose to become the Kadapa parliamentary committee TDP official spokesperson. He had sensed threat to life and asked for security but the police did not care to act which had now led to this murder, Lokesh added.
He asserted that it was not the TDP but Jagan who was known for doing 'shava rajakeeyalu' (politics over deaths). "The whole state knew who became busy collecting signatures of the MLAs instead of waiting till his father's body was found. The TDP will always be in the forefront of fight for the rights of the victims.
Stating that there was not a single case pending against Subbaiah right now, Lokesh said even those 14 cases in the past were totally politically motivated and they had been struck down. "A malicious campaign has been launched against the TDP rising leader. In that case, Jagan had countless 420 cases and 11 chargesheets filed against him. Everybody knew how the CM is presently on bail," he pointed out.
Subbaiah's wife Aparajita said she would not give up her protest till the police included the names of MLA, his brother-in-law and civic chief
in FIR. Meanwhile MLA Rachamallu Siva Prasad Reddy termed the murder of TDP leader as unfortunate and said he was no way connected with the incident.
