Jagan is a psycho: Naidu

0

Former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday criticized the Jagan government stating that it had miserably failed to protect the state farmers severely affected by the floods.

Strongly condemning the suspension 14 TDP members, Naidu said it is shameful that the CM has not followed procedures and maintained no decorum or dignity in the House. He said Jagan is acting like a psycho by mimicking members of the house and calling names. He said he had to rush to the podium after the CM had called TDP member Rama Naidu as drama Naidu. “The farmers issue is such a serious and burning issue. The CM has trivialized the issue by resorting to some silly remarks against the TDP members. In the last one year, the state farming has been severely damaged and the lives of the farmers were crippled. More than 26 lakh acres of crop was damaged. What did this government to mitigate the farming crisis due to the floods,” he said.

Naidu further said Jagan had failed to get central funds to alleviate the plight of flood hit farmers. “He is the most irresponsibly chief minister I have ever seen in my long political career. He promised to l pay the crop insurance premium on behalf of the farmers, but he has failed to fulfill that promise. Today, the farmers would have been in a better place had Jagan paid the crop insurance. Jagan is peddling half-truths and falsehood. When we protested over the farmers issue, our members were suspended in the House.”

Naidu said he felt elated when prime minister Narendra Modi visited Bharat Biotech in Genome Valley. “I felt very happy when the PM visited the Genome Valley which is my brainchild. I had envisioned the Genome Valley 17 years back and today it is paying dividends. What did this government do apart from attacking the opposition leaders by slapping false cases against the TDP leaders. What did this government do apart from perpetrating atrocities against the Dalits and arresting Amaravati farmers,” Naidu remarked.

Naidu slammed the Jaganmohan Reddy government for implementing its lopsided policies which have crippled agriculture, irrigation, industry and all sectors of the state economy. “This government has wrecked all sections of the state politically, socially and financially, thus pushing the state economy into an irrecoverable, bankrupt situation,” he said.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president charged that Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government has pushed the state into a debt trap. He said in the last one year the Jagan government had borrowed a record Rs 1.26 lakh crore, but has not taken up even a single development work. He said Jagan is incapable to govern and take the advice of the opposition.

Dubbaka bypoll rings danger bells for KCR-Jagan-Naidu

1

Till now, the BJP has been in third place in Telangana and in fourth or fifth place in Andhra Pradesh. In the latest Dubbaka byelection, electoral equations have changed dramatically. In the campaign stage itself, the BJP pushed the Congress aside and rose to the second position to challenge the rival TRS candidate. It was the BJP which has benefitted from the anti-incumbency sentiment against the KCR regime.

Now, political pundits say that if the BJP pulls off a surprise win in Dubbaka, that would be a devastating, mind-blowing shock to the ruling TRS. Even if the BJP loses, it is expected to come close to the TRS nominee in terms of vote share. The previous 50,000 majority of TRS is certain to come down significantly. In case of such an outcome also, the BJP would find it as a big boost since it could successfully crush the Congress attempts to regain its former strength.

Analysts say that any favourable turn in BJP’s fortunes in Dubbaka is going to make them more active to focus on their party strengthening the Telugu States. KCR’s out and out friendship with MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi is polarising the Hindu votes in favour of the BJP at the cost of the Congress. If the BJP becomes stronger in Telangana, then it is just a matter of time to gain a foothold in AP. Already, the BJP has won over the Pawan Kalyan party. A rising BJP bodes ill for both Telugu CMs and also Chandrababu Naidu in the long run.

Jagan committed ‘treason’ against people, says Naidu

1

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has stepped his attack on CM Jagan on the occasion of five years completion of foundation stone laying for Amaravati. He accused Jaganmohan Reddy of committing ‘treason’ against the people of Andhra Pradesh by destroying their dream Capital of Amaravati. Even though Amaravati had full potential to become an economic powerhouse and growth engine for all the 13 districts of the State, the YCP Government was bent on demolishing it. The ruling party was blind to Amaravati’s capacity to wipe out all the losses and injustices done to AP during Reorganisation by becoming a vibrant centre of the State’s wealth and a source of huge employment creation for future generations.

The TDP chief said that a city that was a hub of construction works with coolies and heavy machinery previously was now reduced to a place of gloom and inaction in the past one and half years. The present rulers raised expectations of their competitive effort to construct Amaravati before elections but after coming to power, they destroyed the people’s dreams. It was a crime against the very people who voted and made Mr. Jagan Reddy the Chief Minister of the State. The Government had watered down the great expectations raised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dignitaries of different countries who gave inspirational messages at the time of foundation stone laying exactly on this day five years at Uddandarayunipalem village in Core Capital area. An attack was launched to defame Amaravati with baseless propaganda and half truths and untruths. Works completed with Rs. 10,000 Cr were stopped in the Capital area in an irresponsible manner.

Mr. Naidu termed it as a satanic and diabolic desire to spoil the magnificent ‘yagna’ task of Capital construction out of vengeance and ill will against those who began that noble act. It would be the duty of every AP citizen to save Amaravati for which patriots from 13,000 villages and 3,000 wards brought sacred soil and water with which they purified and energised the soil of Core Capital.

Naidu blames YCP for AP top slot in Covid worst hit districts

2

Andhra Pradesh virus cases have risen sharply and the State came to stand top in Coronavirus infections in the country with five out of India’s 30 worst-hit districts located in the State as of now. Former CM Chandrababu Naidu blamed the worsening situation on the Jaganmohan Reddy Government’s utter negligence even when the infections were rising to a peak. The Chief Minister made such callous and casual remarks like ‘a sprinkle of bleaching powder and a paracetamol tablet would prevent virus spread’.

The TDP chief deplored that the YCP Government was not taking any relief measures even though 6,500 have lost their lives. Farmers and artisans lost their work opportunities and they were suffering greatly. The TDP had warned in the beginning itself about the dangerous spread of the epidemic but the ruling party turned a deaf ear. While the TDP held webinars and created awareness among the people as a responsible Opposition party, the ruling YCP leaders behaved atrociously without any concern for the people. If the TDP came to power, the Covid situation would not have deteriorated to this extent. The Government had failed to continue and complete the irrigation projects in Prakasam district. Veligonda project should have been completed by now. There was no progress in Gundlakamma reservoir project and Korisapadu Lift Irrigation Project.

Mr. Naidu asserted that the previous TDP regime made every effort possible to ensure water supply to every acre and over 23 projects were completed. Over 72 per cent Polavaram project works were completed. The YCP did nothing for the State in the past one and half years. The TDP spent Rs. 13,000 Cr on irrigation per year. In that, the YCP could not spend even a third of that money. Construction of almost all projects was stopped.

Such a failed CM not seen before in State’s history, says Naidu

8

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has asserted that the YSRCP Government threw up its hands in helplessness when the farmers and poor families were suffering the worst in the heavy rains and floods. The Chief Ministers, Ministers and the ruling party MLAs of turning their backs on the flood-hit families in the affected areas. CM Jagan Reddy was just making a few rounds in the name of aerial surveys but doing nothing to help the needy.

Naidu said the YCP regime was an all-round failure and that the Government abdicated its responsibility in Coronavirus preventive measures, flood water management, relief extension and assistance to farmers and artisans. Such a failed CM was not seen before in the State’s history. Good people would suffer the most under the rule of ruthless leaders. The security of Dalits, Tribals and Muslim Minorities had become a big question mark in the State. Never before, this kind of atrocities took place on the weaker sections.

The TDP chief said that wherever they go, the YCP Ministers were being confronted by the people for lack of support. The Government was watching the situation like a helpless spectator. It was washing its hands of the victims by giving just Rs. 500. It was atrocious to say that essential commodities would be given only when a house would be submerged for a week.

Mr. Naidu asserted that had the TDP come to power, Polavaram project would have been completed by now. Another 10 to 15 projects would have been completed. If the YCP Government did not cancel works, Polavaram would have come into use for the farmers by now. It would have helped to ensure water supply to the backward Rayalseema districts and drought-hit areas. The TDP should create awareness among the people on this aspect.

Naidu, Lokesh just tourists to AP, say YCP Ministers

4

No ruling party Minister or MLA visited the flood or heavy rain-hit areas anywhere. Today, TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh made a visit to three assembly segments in Guntur district. He visited damaged crops and talked to farmers. The TDP has also accused the YCP Government of deliberately mismanaging the flood in the Krishna river to take vengeance by sinking the house of Chandrababu Naidu.

Amid these issues, YCP Ministers Anil Kumar Yadav and Kodali Nani made scathing attacks on the TDP leaders. They asked whether the Leader of the Opposition in AP was Chandrababu Naidu or his son Nara Lokesh or his grandson Nara Devansh. While Mr. Naidu was staying at his Hyderabad home, Lokesh was making visits to AP now and then.

Anil Kumar went on to say that nobody would need to sink the Krishna Karakatta house of Chandrababu Naidu. This house would sink by itself in the floodwaters of the river.

The Minister said that Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh were just like the tourists who were visiting the State now and then. The Irrigation Minister made a stinging attack as a counter to the TDP’s allegations that the Government conspired to cause an artificial flood in the river in order to sink lands in Amaravati Capital City.

Is YSRCP govt sleeping, asks Naidu

8

Former chief minister and TDP president on Tuesday attacked the Jagan-led YSRCP government in the state for failing to meet the expectations of farmers, who had lost their land and livelihood in the floods. Naidu specifically mentioned the devastating floods in North Andhra, East and West Godavari regions.

Naidu said thousands of families are in distress in the three regions due to floods. Agricultural lands, crops and homes were damaged due the floods, but the Chief Minister has failed to take any precautionary measures to mitigate the crisis arising out of floods.

Speaking to party leaders via video conference, Naidu said the three regions have been severely hit by floods in the last two to three days. “Lives have been battered and the lives of farmers have been thrown out of gear. Farmers have incurred crores of rupees in crop loss due to the floods, but the Jagan government has miserably failed to provide relief to the farmers,” he said. He called upon the party leaders to rise to the occasion and help the farmers in distress.

“Did the people give the massive mandate as a licence to kill them? The government should focus on addressing important issues instead of attacking and foisting false cases against opposition leaders. This is the worst ever governance,” Naidu lashed out.

Jagan govt serves notices to Naidu

3

The Jagan government has yet again sent notices to former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu to vacate his house on the banks of river Krishna.

Stating that Naidu’s house is in the middle of the Karakatta region and vulnerable for inundation, the notice stated that the house has to be immediately vacated with the onset of the floods.

The revenue department noted that many parts of the Karakatta region across Krishna river were inundated with an increase in inflows from the upstream. “It is the responsibility of the government to evacuate people and send them to safer places,” the revenue department stated in its notice.

Apart from Chandrababu Naidu, notices were sent to 36 others whose houses are in the Karakatta region.In 2019, the government had used drones to keep an eye over Naidu’s house on the ground that drones were deployed for aerial survey to monitor the flood situation in Krishna river.

The government had also demolished Praja Vedika, a meeting hall adjacent to Naidua’s residence. The main house, just 2 kms from the Prakasam barrage, was constructed by the Lingamaneni group. Praja Vedika (People’s grievance cell) was built to hold meetings and press conferences.

PM creating Covid awareness but not AP CM: Naidu

2

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has launched a stinging attack on the Andhra Pradesh Government on the impending second wave of Coronavirus epidemic. He termed it as unfortunate that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi was raising awareness on physical distancing and mask-wearing, the AP Chief Minister was not talking at all on preventive measures. On the other hand, the AP Government was more interested in reopening the schools, theatres and liquor shops regardless of the threat of infections.

Mr. Naidu made his opening remarks at the ‘apfightscorona’ online forum with Covid warriors and those affected financially. He urged the Government to give equal emphasis to the fight against the deadly virus along with the economic revival measures. It should be noted that AP stood number 2 in the number of infections in the country and number 1 in virus cases per lakh population. A more focused, cluster-based approach would be necessary to effectively prevent the disastrous impact of the 2nd wave infections. There were reports of serious health complications and greater number of deaths in the second attack. In this backdrop, the future socio-economic recovery of any State or Country or a community would depend solely on how best they would take post-Covid management steps. A weekly audit of the status of infections would give an idea to effectively counter the epidemic.

Best approaches from around the world should be adopted for better management like the ones followed by Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. A cluster based approach with greater focus on super spreader groups was the need of the hour. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) should be followed to give better relief to the people. On the problems of weavers and Godavari flood-hit farmers, Mr. Naidu condemned the attitude of the Government which was behaving as if the people were not facing big problems. In such a crisis situation, the State Governments would have greater responsibility to support the people.

Naidu letter to DGP to restore faith in AP Police

1

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday strongly objected to the way the AP Police handled the minor girl molestation case in Rajahmundry that eventually led to the suicide attempt by her father.

Terming it an yet another instance of deteriorating law and order in Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Naidu said that there were continuous attacks on Dalits, tribal people, people belonging to Backward Classes (BCs), Muslims, women and journalists among others. Unfortunately, the police, who are supposed to uphold rule of law, are either conniving with the ruling party or turning a blind eye to injustices occurring across the State.

In a letter to DGP Gautam Sawang here, the TDP chief said that Shaik Sattar consumed poison in front of the office of the Superintendent of Police, Rajamahendravaram, as he faced threats from the accused. Sattar’s minor daughter was allegedly molested by someone who apparently belongs to the ruling YSRCP. The Sattar family lodged a case against the accused vide FIR No. 578/2020 registered under sections 354, 506 r/w 34 IPC, 11 r/w 12 POCSO Act, 2012. Since the accused seems to be from the YSRCP, the police allegedly pressurised Sattar to withdraw the case. Unable to bear the torture, Shaik Sattar tried to take his own life on October 1, ironically in front of an office housing those responsible for protecting it. Sattar is currently battling for life at the Government Hospital in Kakinada. As such, Andhra Pradesh is witnessing deteriorating law and order and violations of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India which are guaranteed to all citizens.

The TDP chief said that there has been a consistent attack on the freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed by Article 19(1)(a). “As the Leader of the Opposition, it’s my duty to bring such undemocratic acts to your notice for appropriate action. Today, even an iota of dissent expressed against the anti-people policies of the Government readily is leading to witch-hunts, midnight arrests, violent attacks, damages to property and threats. They are unleashing upon the dissenter a vilified character-assassination campaign.” The current functioning of the police in the State is unprecedented in the history of any State. The Andhra Pradesh Police has now earned a dubious distinction of topping the country in the number of cases registered against its own personnel. It is as per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). Out of 4,068 cases registered against police personnel across India, 1,681 cases (41%) were registered in Andhra Pradesh alone. These numbers speak for themselves and reflect the functioning of the police in today’s Andhra Pradesh.

Mr. Naidu said that in another incident, the car of Kommareddy Pattabhi, an Official Spokesperson of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was attacked and damaged on the night of October 3. Even though there is a police picket close by, the culprits are still at large. The act of damaging Pattabhi’s car is a clear attempt at intimidating him and stopping him from raising his voice against the anti-people policies of YSRCP-led Government. This is not the only case and there has been a series of attacks against TDP leaders who have raised their voice against the anti-people policies of the YSRCP-led Government. It was sad that the acts of head tonsuring to humiliate fellow human beings are continuing unabated in the State. Simultaneously, there are attacks on places of worship with seemingly a sinister design. In this backdrop, the YSRCP-led Government, instead of protecting the people, is busy demolishing buildings belonging to dissenters in the dark hours. These incidents have eroded people’s faith in the police. Therefore, the DGP should take steps to restore the law and order situation in the State by allowing the police to discharge their duties impartially and fearlessly. It is crucial to arrest the soaring rate of crimes and to safeguard the fundamental rights of the people. The people of Andhra Pradesh must be assured of an environment free of violence and fear.

What’s this psychoism? Naidu ultimate attack on Jagan

2

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has launched a scathing attack on the Jaganmohan Reddy Government on the demolition of public and private property in Andhra Pradesh. His only concern is that right from day one, CM has targetted and demolished structures like Praja Vedika that were constructed during the Naidu regime.

Now, Naidu expressed his wrath and asked what was this psychoism and where was the need for demolishing the house of senior leader Sabbam Hari in Visakhapatnam. He strongly condemned the action of the authorities and asked where the need was for carrying out this demolition during the midnight hours. When a former MP had to face such severe harassment at a personal level, then what about the common public.

Mr. Naidu asserted this kind of cheap and vengeful politics would be resorted to only by incapable and inefficient persons. The TDP would continue its struggle and rally people together to step up the agitation against the countless wrongdoings and atrocities being committed by the ruling party.

It may be recalled that the TDP has been protesting against the demolitions going on in the State ever since the YCP came to power. Within days of becoming the Chief Minister, Mr. Jagan Reddy ordered demolition of the Praja Vedika convention centre which was constructed by spending public funds. There was a huge uproar from all sections of society against the CM taking such unilateral decisions without taking the opinion of even top officials.

Very unfortunately, the Government is yet to clear the debris from the site of demolished Praja Vedika even after 16 months lapsed. Then, there was the decision to shift Capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam. Huge constructions were left half-completed and the Government already spent Rs 10,000 Cr on these structures.

Naidu ridicules DGP over “sealed cover” letters

4

Former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday ridiculed state Director General of Police Gautam Sawang for asking him to refrain from writing letters to the media.

Gautam Sawang asked Naidu to refrain from writing letters to the media and instead write to him in private to help police discharge their lawful duties. “You may kindly write to me in a sealed cover and help the police in discharging their lawful duties and protecting the rights of people at large, thereby maintaining and enforcing the rule of law,” he said.

To this, Naidu lashed out at Sawang stating that if there is a breakdown in law and order should the opposition party write to the police or the ruling party. “Whose responsibility is it to enforce proper law and order in the state? Is it not the duty of the police to ensure that they implement the law of the land in true letter and spirit? How can the DGP ask me to write a letter in a sealed cover. How can he ask me not to write letters to the media,” Naidu questioned.

The TDP president stated that there has been a complete breakdown of law and order in the state ever since the YSRCP rode to power. “In the last more than one year, there has been an increasing attacks on Dalits, temples were being attacked. There is utter lawlessness. The DGP instead of looking into these issues is talking like an opposition party leader and not as the police boss. This attitude is most unfortunate. Several times the DGP was summoned by the High Court, yet the atrocities on Dalits have not stopped,” he said.

Naidu had recently written a letter stating that the attack on suspended judge Ramakrishna’s brother Ramachandra in Chittoor district was planned and sponsored by the ruling YSRCP. In the letter, Naidu alleged that the attack was an attempt to muzzle the voice of suspended Judge Ramakrishna and his brother Ramachandra.

On September 27, Ramachandra was attacked by four unidentified persons when he went to buy fruits at a vegetable market in B. Kothakota. While he was buying fruits, the unidentified persons were traveling in a car. The unidentified persons entered into a verbal duel with Ramachandra and later thrashed him.

Fresh notice served on Chandrababu to vacate Karakatta house

7

The YCP Government tried hard to evict Chandrababu Naidu from his Karakatta residence on the banks of the Krishna river in its first year itself. It could not be possible. However, the ruling party leaders are now making fresh efforts to embarrass the TDP chief. Once again, the YCP has got the opportunity to bring pressure on Naidu. Now, the authorities served a fresh notice asking the inmates to vacate the Chandrababu Karakatta residence in view of the rising floods in the river. This is despite Naidu staying in Hyderabad right now in view of Coronavirus restrictions.

Actually, Naidu residence was located much above even the maximum flood level there. However, everytime there is a flood and regardless of its intensity, the local authorities are serving notices on the TDP chief. This time, a flood of 5 lakh cusecs is flowing into the Prakasam barrage. Officials are saying this flood may rise to 7 lakh cusecs in the next 24 hours. The low-lying lands and interior river islands are facing immediate threat of submersion.

Naidu’s residence is located about five kms upstream of the barrage. TDP says that his residence will not face submersion threat even if there is a flood higher than 7 lakh cusecs.

Now, the Opposition leaders are objecting to the fresh notices being served on Naidu’s residence. The ruling party is continuing its political harassment. Last year also, the YCP leaders used a boat to block flow at the barrage to increase water level near Naidu residence. This was done to get the house vacated. Such mean tactics would not give good results, says TDP.

Naidu’s priority to BCs, Kapus, youth in new LS party posts

2

Former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday announced new presidents for all the 25 parliamentary constituencies in Andhra Pradesh and also about 13 parliamentary coordinators. He has given top priority to BCs, Kapus and young leaders to prepare the party for future challenges.

Nearly 50 per cent of these newly appointed parliamentary unit presidents belong to the BC communities and Kapus. This is in accordance with the TDP’s explicit support and commitment to these sections from the beginning. This is seen as the party’s new approach to the need for balancing different caste and religious equations. It marked a shift from its earlier district-oriented model towards a structure that is closer to citizens across the 25 parliamentary seats in the State.

Of the 25 parliamentary posts, there are only 5 Kamma leaders. This must be seen as a befitting reply to the YSRCP which has been branding the TDP as a “Kamma party” with an ulterior motive to derive political advantage. The 32-year Kimidi Nagarjuna was named for Vizianagaram and Palla Srinivas for Visakhapatnam, belonging to BCs. From the Kapu community, popular leaders former Rajya Sabha MP Thota Seetharama Lakshmi from Narsapuram and senior TDP leader Jyothula Nehru’s son Jyothula Navin in Kakinada have been made parliamentary unit Presidents now.

The TDP new presidents of respective Lok Sabha constituencies are as follows:

Kuna Ravikumar (Srikakulam), Kimidi Nagarjuna (Vizianagaram), Gummadi Sandhya Rani (Araku), Palla Srinivasa Rao (Visakhapatnam), Buddha Naga Jagadeeswara Rao (Anakapalli), Jyothula Navin (Kakinada), Reddy Anantha Kumari (Amalapuram), Kothapalli Samuel Jawahar (Rajahmundry), Thota Sitarama Lakshmi (Narsapur), Ganni Veeranjaneyulu (Eluru), Konakalla Narayana Rao (Machilipatnam), Nettem Raghu Ram (Vijayawada), Tenali Sravan Kumar (Guntur), GV Anjaneyulu (Narasaraopet), Yeluri Sambasiva Rao (Bapatla), Nukasani Balaji (Ongole), Sk Abdul Aziz (Nellore), Narasimha Yadav (Tirupati), Pulivarthy Venkata Mani Prasad (Chittoor), Reddappagari Srinivasa Reddy (Rajampeta), Mallela Linga Reddy (Kadapa), Kalava Srinivasulu (Anantapuram), BK Partha Sarathy (Hindupuram), Somisetti Venkateswarlu (Kurnool) and Gouru Venkata Reddy (Nandyal).

Mr. Naidu has also appointed 13 senior party leaders as coordinators for two to three parliamentary segments. They are as follows:

Kondapalli Appala Naidu (Machilipatnam and Guntur), Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy (Kakinada and Amalapuram), PGVR Naidu (Srikakulam and Vizianagaram), Nimmakayala Chinarajappa (Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli), Pithani Satyanarayana (Narasaraopet and Bapatla), Gadde Rammohan (Rajahmundry and Narsapur), Nakka Ananda Babu (Araku), Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar (Eluru and Vijayawada), Mukku Ugranarasimha Reddy (Tirupati and Chittoor), Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy (Kadapa and Rajampeta), V Prabhakar Chowdary (Kurnool and Nandyal), BT Naidu (Anantapuram and Hindupur) and BC Janardhan Reddy (Ongole and Nellore).

Chandrababu not a Hindu: Kodali Nani explains

3

The exchange of words between Minister Kodali Nani and his rivals on the TTD issue is getting more and more bitter. Even the ruling YCP has left it mostly to Kodali to continue his attacks on the opponents. Now, Nani has made an ultimate attack on Chandrababu Naidu and listed out several reasons why Naidu is not a Hindu.

The reasons given by Nani are that Chandrababu did not lit the funeral pyre of his parents. Also, Naidu has not got tonsure ever at Tirumala temple. Moreover, the Naidu couple carried out puja at Seven Hills with their left hands. Finally, the Minister has confirmed that Naidu is not a Hindu if his activities are taken into consideration.

Obviously, the YCP is not yielding a bit on the issue of ‘declaration’ to be submitted at TTD temple. The Chief Minister has not spoken a single word on this. But, the MLAs and Ministers surrounding him are strongly mounting their attacks asking why the CM should sign in the ‘declaration’ when the TTD itself invited him to present the sacred silken robes.

On its part, the BJP has intensified its criticism saying that Kodali Nani’s anti-Hindu and anti-Balaji comments will be treated as those made by the Jagan Reddy Government. BJP leader Vishnu Vardhan Reddy demanded immediate dismissal of Kodali Nani for his continued absurd and inflammatory comments against Hindu devotees and sadhus.

11 temples attacked, who is responsible: Naidu

3

Telugu Desam Party president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu condemned the growing attacks on Hindu temples.

At a press conference in Hyderabad, Naidu said ever since the YSRCP rode to power, at least 11 temples were vandalized. His comments come in the wake of three silver lion statues of affixed to the chariot of the famous Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada inside the Mallikarjuna Mahamandapam went missing.

“Today, the Hindu temples have come under attack. Tomorrow, churches and mosques could be attacked. Who is responsible for such vandalism and arson in the state? Isn’t the state government responsible,” he questioned.

Naidu said earlier the TTD Board had proposed to auction the temple assets but backed out due to the pressure exerted by the opposition parties and growing dissent from the people against the government. Naidu also fired at the state government for carrying advertisements “Holy Jersusalem tour” for Christians in the state and ads on the annual Haj pilgrimage printed on the back of Tirumala bus tickets. “All these issues have hurt the sentiments of Hindus. The state government has been ignoring these issues. I wonder what Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is doing. Why is he silent over these issues,” he questioned.

Somu Veeraju under house arrest, Naidu tweets on Antarvedi incident

3

Andhra BJP president Somu Verraju was placed under house arrest as he planned to visit Antarvedi where a century-old chariot burnt in a suspicious fire accident.

The BJP leader lashed out at the Andhra Pradesh government over attacks on Hindu temples and that the current dispensation was not serious about addressing the issues related to attacks on the Hindu temples. He said ever since the YSRCP rode to power, the government has been funding the construction of churches and the attacks on the Hindu temple have increased.

Stating that the government was playing with the emotions of the people of Andhra Pradesh, Lanka Dinakar, another BJP leader, demanded a probe into the burning of the Antarvedi temple chariot. The chariot of the famous Sri Lakshmi Narasimha temple in Antarvedi of East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh was gutted in a fire mishap on September 6.

He said the attacks on Hindu religious sites are on the rise in the state and accused Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy’s government for not taking it seriously.

Meanwhile, former CM and TDP president Chandrababu Naidu demanded a CBI probe into the incident. “Andhra Pradesh has been a progressive, pluralistic State where all faiths have thrived & co-existed peacefully. However, under the tyrannical YSRCP regime, people of AP are now fearful of a continuous state-sponsored attack on their faiths. More than 20 such attacks have occurred,” the former CM tweeted.

“From charring of sacred chariots at Antarvedi & Bitragunta to idols being demolished at Pithapuram, from attacks on priests like Devarampadu incident to propagation of other religions under TTD mgmt & illegal takeover of Simhachalam temple board there seems to be a pattern,” Naidu said in another tweet.

Antarvedi incident attack on Hindu religion: Naidu

TDP president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed anguish over the growing attacks on idols of Hindu temples across the state ever since the YSRCP rode to power.

The TDP president demanded a judicial probe into the burning of Antarvedi temple chariot in East Godavari. He said there was a larger conspiracy to defame Hindu religion and the chariot fire mishap was not a mere accident. He suspected the hand of anti-social elements and sought a thorough judicial inquiry into the incident.

Naidu said the fire mishap at the Antarvedi Lakshminarasimha Swamy temple is not an isolated case. Similar incidents occurred at various temples in the state, including Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy temple. He said several idols were destroyed in temples across the state in the more than one year rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy. Naidu said this is a clear case of an attack on Hindu religion.

Naidu unhurt as 2 convoy vehicles involved in accident

1

Two vehicles in former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TDP president Chandrababu Naidu’s convoy were involved in an accident on Saturday in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, but he escaped unhurt.

The incident occurred near Dandu Malkapuram in Choutuppal mandal on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway when Naidu was on his way to Hyderabad from Vijayawada.

The driver of an escort vehicle applied the brakes when a cow came in front of the convoy, due to which a vehicle carrying NSG personnel rammed into a jammer vehicle. The vehicle’s front portion was damaged but no one was injured.

Naidu’s car was following the vehicle involved in the accident. He was left standing on the road for about 15 minutes.

A spare vehicle was arranged for the National Security Guard (NSG) personnel, after which the convoy resumed its journey.

Earlier in July 2019, an Armed Reserve Sub-Inspector of Police and a Home Guard suffered minor injuries after the vehicle, which was part of convoy of former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, met with a minor accident at Gonipenta bridge in Penukonda mandal of Anantapur district.

AP Police issue summons to Chandrababu Naidu

2

Former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is raising non-stop suspicions on the role of the police in tampering with the evidence in the sensational Om Prathap death case in Chittoor district. Coming under heavy pressure, the police issued summons to the TDP chief to appear before them with evidence. Madanapalle Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) issued the notice under CrPC Section 91 to Mr. Chandrababu Naidu to appear before him and produce evidence within two weeks time.

The police referred to the August 27 media reports on Naidu’s letter to DGP Gautham Sawang in which the TDP chief asked several questions on why the CI took away the cell phone of the deceased Om Prathap when no case was filed at that time. Mr. Naidu had also raised serious allegations and made serious accusations against the police for not revealing the call lists details of the victim. The TDP was saying that a check of call lists would reveal which ruling party leaders had issued life threats to Om Prathap prior to his death.

Now, the police seemed embarrassed thoroughly and went ahead with their usual tricky methods by issuing summons to none other than the former chief minister to appear before them in person. Actually, the TDP chief was making demands more than raising suspicions. What he demanded was a thorough check of call lists and also reason for the CI taking away the cell phone of Om Prathap.

It was evident how there would be no need for proof of Om Prathap’s accusations against the YSRCP Government’s liquor policy since his video was available on social media everywhere.
