Complaint against Botcha, Roja

Visakhapatnam: TDP urban district organising secretary Sanapala Panduranga Rao lodged a complaint with Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Annepu Narasimha Murthy here on Wednesday seeking the arrest of YSR Congress leader Botcha Satyanarayana and MLA R K Roja for instigating the youth in the name of Special Category Status (SCS) to the State .

The TDP leader in his complaint said that the YSRCP leaders were indirectly invoking Telugu pride and provoking the youth to agitate on the SCS by congregating in large numbers at the R K Beach on Thursday taking the inspiration from Tamil people who successfully agitated for legalisation of jallikattu.

Stating that arson and destruction of public properties was not the culture of Telugu pride, he reminded that all the Telugu people had staged protests for 63 days peacefully demanding united Andhra Pradesh at the time of bifurcation.

Panduranga Rao said that even after the unscientific bifurcation, with the efforts of TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, the new State has secured many sops and projects from the Centre.

The Telugu people know well when to agitate and when to keep silent on the pressing demands, he added.

Pointing out that Botcha Satyanarayana, who was in Congress then played a key role when the State during bifurcated unscientifically, he wondered how the same person could now instigate youth to demand the SCS.

Alleging that the Opposition YSRCP was doing all this only to disturb the proposed CII Partnership Summit scheduled to start on January 27 in the city, the TDP leader demanded immediate arrest of Botcha Satyanaryaana and Roja for causing law and order problem.
