Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N. Chandrababu Naidu has urged the Election Commission to intervene swiftly to curb the rising political violence in Andhra Pradesh.
Naidu, speaking on Tuesday, expressed concern over the escalation of political violence by the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) during the ongoing election process. He accused Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy of instigating violence due to fear of losing power, predicting his downfall within 50 days.
Highlighting recent incidents, Naidu cited the brutal killings of two TDP supporters, including Mulaiah from Gadikota and 21-year-old Imam Hussain from Chagalamarri. He also mentioned the arson attack on a car belonging to TDP activists in Macherla.
Demanding impartial police action and stringent measures against the perpetrators, Naidu condemned the YSRCP’s involvement in murder and factional politics.
Assuring support to affected families, Naidu criticized the Superintendents of Police (SPs) in Prakasam, Nandyal, and Palnadu districts, alleging their alignment with the ruling party.
Urging the Election Commission to address the law and order situation promptly, Naidu emphasized the need for immediate action to curb political violence ahead of the scheduled elections on May 13.
