Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has accused the Jaganmohan Reddy government of not providing the required basic facilities for the Coronavirus patients at the government quarantine centres. The ruling YCP was making tall claims of spending huge amounts of funds for recovery of Covid patients but the facilities being provided in the field level were far from satisfactory.

The TDP chief said in a Twitter post that the people’s fears and insecurities were increasing on seeing the deteriorating conditions at the quarantine centres. The Government should explain why the facilities were of very poor quality when huge funds were being spent. It was not correct for the ruling party to play games with the lives of the people.

Mr. Naidu asserted that any Government should take up such activities that would create confidence among the people about the services being rendered. Such a situation was not prevailing in the state. The TDP efficiently provided best services at Anna Canteens by involving a proven organisation like Akshaya Patra Foundation.

The TDP chief advised the CM to prove its commitment to public service in deeds but not in words or statements. Mr. Naidu made this criticism in response to a video that showed patients at a quarantine centre complaining about poor quality of food and other services there. Both men and women patients flayed the Government and the officials for not providing even basic facilities for them.

తమకేదయినా ఆపద వస్తే ప్రభుత్వం నన్ను ఆదుకుంటుందన్న భరోసా ప్రజలకు ఉండాలి. కానీ రాష్ట్రంలోని కరోనా క్వారంటైన్ కేంద్రాలలోని పరిస్థితులు చూస్తే ప్రజల్లో ఆందోళన, అభద్రతా భావం పెంచేలా ఉన్నాయి. ఇంత ఖర్చుపెడుతున్నాం, అంత ఖర్చుపెడుతున్నాం అంటూ పాలకులు లెక్కలు చెబుతున్నారు. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/qdg6Aj7W2g

Telugu Desam Party National President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday slammed the Jaganmohan Reddy Government for pushing the state into a helpless situation where it could not save a life-giving doctor when he was falling victim to Coronavirus in Tenali town in Guntur district.

Mr. Naidu said the doctor emotionally pleaded for better treatment so that he would be able to live to care of his children and family members but, unfortunately, no timely help was provided.

In a statement here, the TDP chief said that the sad state of affairs in Andhra Pradesh was evident from how the Government Doctors’ Association has written a letter to the AP Chief Secretary, saying that they would not be able to work where there was no respect for doctors. Many unsavoury incidents took place. The Prakasam District Medical and Health Officer was made to stand for coming late for the review meeting. Anantapuram DMHO was personally humiliated. The DMHOs of Srikakulam and Nellore were being forced to go on leave.

Mr. Naidu said that the doctors association narrated their problems, saying that they were unable to render their services under these deteriorating conditions. No ex gratia was given to the kin of the doctors who died in Vijayawada, Tenali and Nellore. Unfortunate things were happening across the state. The doctors held a dharna in Visakhapatnam for masks. Lab technicians protested in Ongole demanding personal protection kits. Just for asking for mask, Dalit Doctor Sudhakar was beaten in the middle of the road with lathis and humiliated. Indecent videos were leaked on Dr. Anitha Rani in Chittoor.

Stating that no other state was humiliating doctors like in AP, Mr. Naidu termed as condemnable the harassment of doctors who were risking their own lives in order to save people’s lives. It was painful to see AP standing at the bottom in Coronavirus cases recovery rate in the country. The Government’s negligence was disturbing everyone.
Mr. Naidu deplored that instead of rescuing people by encouraging frontline warriors, the YCP Government was busy indulging in irregularities and scams everywhere. On the one hand, the Coronavirus cases were rapidly increasing in the State. On the other, the ruling party leaders’ corruption scams were growing in all programmes and projects at a greater speed. At least now, the Government should leave its adamant attitude and start giving compensation to doctors and staff who died in the line of duty. PPE kits should be provided to all the frontline workers.

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has termed as inhuman the way the policemen watched as silent spectators when poor Dalit farmer Venkataiah ended his life by consuming pesticide at Venkannapalem in Nellore district.
Mr. Naidu said the farmer took the extreme step following endless harassment and police highhandedness. It is learnt that the constables verbally abused and physically assaulted the farmer while he was working on his land. Feeling humiliated, he quickly swallowed the pesticide that was to be used for the crop.

The TDP chief took to Twitter and said that the YCP Government’s anti-people policies were taking a heavy toll on the people. The Dalit farmer in Nellore Dist consumed poison owing to harassment of police and revenue officials despite a High Court order prohibiting the Government from taking his land in Survey No. 131.

Strongly condemning the incidents, Mr. Naidu said: “It is ghastly to see officials take revenge on a hapless man who went to court against them. They have not only worked against the directives of the Hon’ble High Court but have also violated the human rights of the farmer by resorting to physical violence & verbal abuse.”

Mr. Naidu slammed the policemen who watched as mute spectators instead of rushing the hapless farmer to the hospital. The TDP would stand in support of Venkataiah and make sure that the erring officials are punished without fail. These inhuman acts must be strongly condemned by the civil society.

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday accused the ruling YSR Congress Party leaders of making empty promises only to betray the poorer sections of society after coming to power. Mr. Naidu condemned the demolition of the foundations laid for the houses of poor beneficiaries in Kuppam constituency. It was only after the TDP came to power that pucca houses were being built for the poor families in the State.

Addressing virtually the victims who protested in front of the Kuppam MRO office, the TDP chief said that their party was waging a struggle against corruption in house sites distribution and related land acquisition. As a responsible Opposition, the TDP was fighting for house sites to the poor families. NT Rama Rao dreamt of seeing all poor families to have a permanent house. Prior to that, the poor families were exposed to hot summers and shivering winters due to lack of a strong roof over their heads.

Stating that every poor man should have a confidence to live in his own house, Mr. Naidu said that each house should serve as a big asset. But, there was widespread corruption in housing scheme during 2004-`09. Over 14 lakh houses disappeared with no trace in the United AP state as the leaders encashed the bills without even constructing these houses. At that time, Rs. 5,000 Cr scam was committed in housing scams. Under TDP rule, construction of 10 lakh houses was completed during 2014-`19. The YCP cancelled 4.37 lakh houses as soon as they came to power.

Mr. Naidu pointed out that the TDP gave house sites of nearly 2.5 cents to 3 cents but now the YCP has reduced the size to just 1 cent. The TDP increased the house area from 400 sft to 750 sft. Financial assistance was given for repairs of poor families’ houses also. Mass house warming was done for lakhs of houses meant for poor. The Government should explain why the poor people’s houses were demolished in Kuppam assembly segment.

The TDP chief deplored that after YCP came to power, the assignment lands of BCs, SCs and STs were being taken back forcibly. The housing bills were not being paid. In Kuppam, over 27 SC families’ houses were demolished. The previous government gave an undertaking to each poor family that each house would be built at a cost of Rs. 5 lakh. Housing units were the rights of poor people but this YCP Government was taking the extreme step of cancelling even the house site pattas. The ruling party was committing scams in the allotment of house sites in low-lying lands, flood-prone areas and also in mangroves which are unfit for human habitation.

Mr. Naidu asked the revenue officials how the previous pattas given to the beneficiaries were cancelled. He did not accept the explanation that new house sites would be given to the poor beneficiaries at the same place where their houses were demolished. It seems there was no end to the misdeeds and atrocities under this YCP Government. The pattas were being given to the poor people and their houses were being brought down at the same time. It was unfortunate that such demolitions and atrocities were carried out in the assembly segment of the main Opposition leader and former Chief Minister.

Mr. Naidu said that house construction was taken up for 2,000 families in 8 panchayats in Kuppam segment. For this, 27 acres land was acquired and levelled at a cost of Rs. 100 Cr. Those houses were at various stages of completion. The victims told Naidu that they were facing problems with latest demolitions taken up by the Government. They deplored that the officials demolished the houses after surrendering to the pressure brought by the YCP leaders.
The TDP chief demanded that another Rs. 40,000 each would be required for construction foundations for these houses. The officials should reconstruct the houses and hand over the same to the beneficiaries.

TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu termed Amaravati as the only hope for a bright future. He appealed to the YCP Government to stop its vicious political game and begin new efforts to complete the Capital construction in its present location in the larger interests of all regions of the state. The TDP chief warned the CM that if he was thinking of betraying the people of AP, it would be very difficult to achieve such an ignoble wish. Eventually, it would be Jagan Reddy himself who would be left betrayed by his own anti-people activities. Mr. Naidu appealed to the like-minded people of all sections across India and abroad to make the protest call given by the Amaravati Joint Action Committee a big success on July 4. The TDP would also take part in these protests while duly observing Coronavirus preventive guidelines like physical distancing, wearing face masks and also virtual protests. The Telugu diaspora in other countries were also participating in these protests.

Stating that he would take part in protests at Amaravati, Mr. Naidu said that the YCP should stop its stubborn and perverse arguments on the Capital city issues. The Government must at least recognise now that it would be only by developing a single capital city with huge potential that the entire State would be able to reap the benefits of overall development. Amaravati would be the only hope for the future generations of Andhra Pradesh. The Assembly, Secretariat, Courts complexes, townships and other buildings should be developed here itself. There has been no legal dispute also in this huge project till now.

The TDP chief said there has been overwhelming support from all over to Amaravati farmers’ agitation which is completing 220 days now on July 4. Agitators across the world would take part in virtual rallies and protests to bring pressure on the adamant Government. If the planned roads were completed in the existing city in the past one year, Amaravati would have by now come into active use by different sections. The land values would also have gone up in a big way so that the Capital City project would have got potential to generate internal resources to fund its further implementation.

Mr. Naidu told the ruling party leaders that even their party sympathisers in the Capital city area have voluntarily given their lands. In 2019 elections, both MLA seats in Amaravati region were won by the ruling party. But now, the YCP was behaving in a maniacal way to shift Capital without any respect for their own supporters and the local people. Amaravati would have potential to show the kind of development that the international airport, IT sector, Outer Ring Road, Biotech Park and others projects brought in Hyderabad and its surrounding areas.

Stating that Amaravati was visualised as a self-financing project, the TDP chief said that Rs. 10,000 cr funds were already spent on developing some basic facilities in the Capital. Many such good projects initiated by TDP in Hyderabad were continued by YS Rajasekhara Reddy Government. There should be continuity of governance and developmental projects for passing their benefits to the future generations. As such, Amaravati should be continued for the common good and greater prosperity of AP people.

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has condemned the manner in which the YCP Government was endangering former Minister Atchannaidu’s life by meting out inhuman treatment ever since he was arrested on false charges. Mr. Naidu accused the Government of hatching a conspiracy and playing games with Atchannaidu’s life. He was arrested just a day after he underwent a surgery and, despite this, he was mercilessly forced to travel hundreds of kilometres in a vehicle. As a result of this inhuman treatment, the injury relapsed and Atchannaidu had to undergo another operation.

Mr. Naidu said the inhuman treatment was continued even though the ACB Court has clearly said Atchannaidu should be questioned while allowing him to rest in his hospital bed only. The court said he should not be made to sit or stand. The doctors of Guntur General Hospital have said Atchannnadiu needs 10 days bed rest. But, undue pressure was brought on the GGH doctors for discharging the former Minister at midnight.

The TDP chief asked what was the reason behind the ACB officials trying so hard to take Atchannaidu into custody at midnight. Clearly, these midnight conspiracies were aimed at throwing the TDP leader’s life into risk. They were putting pressure on the GGH officials in violation of the court orders. Even the people’s organisations were saying that all this does not look like ordinary case investigation but a clear attempt to murder a BC leader.

Mr. Naidu asked the Government why it was not showing similar enthusiasm to unearth the YCP mafia activities in land, 108 ambulances, Aava lands and sand scams. The courts were commenting that senior police officials were now appearing before the courts just because of the extreme violations of some staff. Mr. Naidu asserted that they would not tolerate if the Government continued its inhuman activities against BC leader Atchannaidu just because it has got power. The TDP will continue its legal struggle in order to break the conspiracies of the ruling party.

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has demanded the Jaganmohan Reddy Government to explain whether the recipient organisation of 108 ambulances contract belongs to Vijayasai Reddy’s son-in-law or not. He blamed the ruling party for continuing its harassment against the TDP just for asking how the 108 contract could be given to a new organisation in violation of the laws and the rules. The Government is giving notices to the whistleblowers while allowing the actual corruption-tainted persons to go scot-free.

The TDP chief, addressing an online meeting with party senior leaders here, called for a relentless struggle to expose and oppose the multiple scams and irregularities being committed even during the dangerous Coronavirus time. He said the Chief Minister should answer whether Saraswathi Power belongs to him or not. When the TDP questioned how water and mines allocation was given in violation of rules, notices were sent through the Secretary concerned. The YCP has made it a routine to commit scams and then persecute the Opposition when it exposes the Government’s corruption.

Mr. Naidu asserted that July and August months would be very crucial in view of rising Coronavirus cases and, to prevent further spread, everybody should follow virtual working, physical distancing and digital socialisation. But the YCP was using even COVID time for carrying out multiple scams. The promises to distribute masks to every house were not fulfilled. Corruption took place even in the making of face masks. Scams took place in test kits and bleaching powder. YCP resorted to Rs. 408 cr scam even in 108 ambulances.

Referring to house sites, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu flayed the ruling party leaders and officials for ‘maintaining silence’ without clarifying on the allegations about collection of Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 70,000 from prospective beneficiaries. There was no official response on the hundreds of crores irregularities in land acquisitions. Nobody was assuring to return the money in case of any problems in future. Instead of assuring the prospective beneficiaries, the ruling party was supporting those who were forcibly collecting the amounts.

Stating that atrocities and corruption were ripping apart AP, Mr. Naidu said this was evident from how Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy himself described it as a ‘Police Rajyam’ in Andhra Pradesh with YCP harassing rivals with false cases and arrests. Another proof of deterioration of law and order in the State was the letter written by YCP MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju himself to the Centre about life threats to him in AP. Already, the State Election Commissioner wrote to the Centre in the past asking for Central forces’ protection in view of threatening calls to him. Many Opposition people’s representatives made similar complaints expressing fear of life threats. This shows how the YCP Government created a widespread feeling of fear and insecurity all over the State.

Mr. Naidu termed it as oppressive to file a case against former Minister Ayyanna Patrudu for protesting against removal of a BC leader’s photo from Narsipatnam municipal office premises. False cases were filed and inhuman treatment was meted out to Atchannaidu though he required rest due to a surgery. Police watch was placed at Bonda Umamaheswara Rao residence.

Condemning YCP’s ‘maniacal activities’, the TDP chief objected to the legal notices issued to himself and two media houses for questioning the allotment of mines and water for the Chief Minister’s company. In the name of ambulances, Pattabhi Ram was harassed. Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and Chinarajappa were implicated for attending a marriage. Yesterday, one follower Krishna was arrested in Nandigama while 70-year-old Kishore was arrested in Visakhapatnam. The YCP was not even leaving elderly persons as the 66-year-old Ranganayakamma was harassed with a false case in Guntur.

Mr. Naidu said CM Jagan Reddy has decided to take political vengeance to cover up his miserable failure to satisfy the people’s expectations. It has become a routine for YCP to file cases, make baseless allegations and then defame the Opposition. Such blatant misuse of power and oppression was not seen in the last 64 years of AP history. Nowhere in the country such a high number of cases were registered and so many rival parties leaders were sent to jail.

Mr. Naidu flayed the Government for also ‘persecuting’ three Dalit youth for putting posts on social media. False cases were filed to arrest Pilli Koteswara Rao in Chilakaluripeta, Tilak in Kurnool and Nimmala Lokesh in Sullurupeta. Huge cuts were imposed in funds allotments for the welfare of BC, SC, ST and Minorities. Dalit doctors Sudhakar and Anita Rani were harassed. Dalit leaders were openly attacked and sent to jail out of political vendetta.

TDP National President N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday accused the Jaganmohan Reddy Government of depriving the downtrodden people of their rights for progress and empowerment.

He said the Government was not showing sincerity and empathy towards implementing the GO No 3 brought on January 10, 2000. This GO reserves all the posts of teachers in the schools situated in the scheduled areas in Andhra Pradesh with local Scheduled Tribe candidates only out of whom 33 1/3 percent shall be women.
Mr. Naidu, in a letter addressed to Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy, advised the Government not to harm the interests of the tribal people by ignoring the GO 3. It has been implemented for over two decades benefitting and empowering many tribal people. Now, the tribal people have lost their right to teaching jobs. This loss is bound to have a retrograde effect on the development of the tribals as a whole.

The TDP chief drew the CM’s attention to a quote of Jaipal Singh Munda, hockey champion and the lone representative of tribal people in the Constituent Assembly. Jaipal Singh said, “The whole history of my people is one of continuous exploitation and dispossession by the non-aboriginals of India punctuated by rebellions and disorder, and yet I take Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru at his word. I take you all at your word that now we are going to start a new chapter, a new chapter of Independent India where there is equality of opportunity, where no one would be neglected.”

Mr. Naidu said that as commented by Jaipal Singh Munda, it is the responsibility of Government to see it that there will be ‘equality of opportunity’ and no tribal would be ‘dispossessed or exploited’ henceforth. It is also our constitutional commitment to ensure that the tribal people are developed and empowered on par with others. TDP is wedded to this constitutional commitment and hence brought the GO No. 3 to empower tribals in the year 2000.

Mr. Naidu said the Government appears not interested in the empowerment of weak, vulnerable and downtrodden sections of the society. Earlier, the BC reservations in local bodies were reduced from 34 per cent to 24 per cent, due to which BCs lost political empowerment. The Government did not make a suitable attempt to protect the reservations in local bodies for BCs. In this context, there is a need to take immediate and suitable action by the Government to protect the rights of tribal people for getting all the teaching jobs in Schools located in scheduled tribal areas as per GO No. 3.

Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party has expressed solidarity to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance Government in the latter’s decisions to defend the country against the intrusions by China’s People’s Liberation Army in Galwan Valley.

The TD Legislature Party (TDLP), at an online meeting presided by Mr. Naidu here, paid tributes and recalled the exemplary courage of the 20 army men and the son of Telugu soil Col. Santosh Babu, who laid down their lives in the border clash. The TDLP condemned China for its provocative bid to ingress into the Indian territory.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu lauded his party MLCs for strongly countering the ruling YCP’s plans to hijack the proceedings in AP Legislative Council yesterday. While the MLCs have bravely fought against the ruling party leaders’ violations, the party MLAs have given their moral support which deserves appreciation. The TDP members have attended the session despite illhealth and personal problems, thereby helping to protect the honour of Telugu Desam Party.

Mr. Naidu said former Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu gave a fitting reply to all the 18 YCP Ministers who stormed the Council session. The same fighting spirit should be shown in the coming months in order to effectively check the YCP atrocities and violations against the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

The TDP chief said that some MLCs and MLAs have gone down as betrayers in history for succumbing to the temptations of CM Jagan Reddy party. One MLA surrendered just because one small case was filed against him. Another MLA succumbed to the lure of incentives. Another leader gave in to YCP for its penalties. All such leaders would be forgotten while those who are fighting would be remembered forever. The people are realising that the CM was a scourge that is more harmful than Coronavirus.

Stating that lots of GOs were struck down in the courts, Mr. Naidu said no other State Government has ever resorted to so many anti-people activities in the recent past. The YCP leaders were committing irregularities and atrocities in an endless manner. The courts have never found fault with any government so many times like in the case of Jagan regime. In the fight against the maniac, everybody should be alert and always cautious. YCP leaders were making attacks on Opposition inside the Houses of Legislature while, at the same time, they were crushing on the civil liberties of the people outside.

Mr. Naidu deplored that the ruling party has set a goal to attack and persecute the BC, SC, ST and Minorities. As part of this, they have targetted Yanamal Ramakrishnudu, Atchannaidu, Ayyanna Pathrudu and others. Seeing the ruling party behaviour, doubts were arising whether it held the just-concluded session for passing the Appropriation Bill or the controversial Bills on 3 Capitals and CRDA Repeal. There are doubts whether they were budget sessions or Capital shifting sessions.

The TDP chief criticised the Government for bringing the Decentralisation Bill and CRDA Repeal Bill back to Council through the back door. When the TDP insisted on a debate under Rule 90, the YCP Ministers and members resorted to attacks and provocations. In the last one year, the YCP has not given even Rs. 2,000 Cr for the backward classes if Ammavadi and pensions are not considered. Tall claims were being made about spending Rs. 15,000 Cr for BC welfare. The TDP spent Rs. 9,000 Cr for SC sub plan but the present YCP rule gave just Rs. 3,000 Cr. Not even half the amount was spent in ST sub plan. While the TDP spent additional funds for sub plans for development of weaker sections, the YCP was showing welfare spendings also under sub plan expenditure.

Mr. Naidu recalled that the Advocate General told the High Court that the 3 Capitals and CRDA Repeal Bills were referred to the Selection Committed formed by Council. But, now the two bills were before the Houses in violation of the constitutional norms. This was another maniacal act on the part of the CM to re-introduce the two bills in breach of the affidavit filed by the Advocate General before the High Court. Nobody blocked the Appropriation Bill and this would be known if the videos and pictures of the Council proceedings were made public.

The TDP chief accused the YCP of trying to escape from public scrutiny by completing the session in just two days so that all the misdeeds and corruption scams of its one year rule would not come up for debate. The budget session should have been held for two to three weeks. YCP has not fulfilled its countless promises. It is well known how YCP promised to give Rythu Bharosa for 64 lakh farmers, but after coming to power it gave the benefit to just 44 lakh.

Telugu Desam Party National President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday termed it as appalling the YCP Government’s continuing pursuit of vendetta against the people, activists and leaders belonging to the weaker and downtrodden sections in Andhra Pradesh.

He said the body politic became ‘sick’ in AP under just one year of YCP rule as it did not hesitate to persecute Dalit doctors Sudhakar and Anitha Rani, and also backward classes leaders like fomer Ministers Ch. Ayyanna Pathrudu and K. Atchannaidu.

In a letter addressed to Director General of Police Gautam Sawang here, the TDP chief said there was a clear pattern behind the YSRCP Government which was framing false charges and targetting weaker sections to silence all opposition to its violations and irregularities. First, Atchannaidu was implicated, arrested and illtreated. Just as the people were coming to terms with his unlawful arrest and need to undergo a second surgery, the Government foisted a false FIR against Ayyanna Pathrudu. Obviously, the police are being used as ‘pawns’ by the ruling YSRCP leaders to pursue their narrow political agenda.

Expressing concern over rising vindictive actions, Mr. Naidu told the DGP that it was essential to investigate the pattern by which the YCP Government was victimising every voice of dissent against its policies and decisions. The modus operandi adopted by YCP is to first use its own mainstream media and social media to tarnish a particular leader or person and then encourage the ruling party cronies to file false cases against the dissenting persons or leaders regardless of the parties or organisations they belong to. This pursuit of narrow political interests by YSRCP would only result in destruction of institutions like police, legislature, bureaucracy, media and judiciary. Finally, our children would only inherit these moth-eaten democratic institutions turning the future into dark and bleak for the whole State of Andhra Pradesh.

Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said it was crucial for the DGP as the head of the police to rise above petty and narrow interests of the ruling party leaders in order to save the institution of police and all other democratic institutions in the state. The ruling YSRCP is unleashing violence and harassment not only against the opposition TDP, but also against any one voicing their dissent. YCP’s revenge regime reminds us of a quote of Dr. BR Ambedkar: “Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.”

The TDP chief told the DGP it is time to administer such a dose of medicine as recommended by the Architect of the Constitution. This is badly needed in view of the continuing attacks on all institutions and systems by YCP with its vendetta politics. Finally, history will judge the DGP based on the action that he would take to cure today’s sick body politic.

The TDP chief said that Ayyanna Patrudu has been in public service for nearly four decades and is widely known as a simpleton, emotional and soft spoken. He has been seen as the voice of the weak, vulnerable and downtrodden sections of the society. Filing FIR against such a leader without enquiry shows the vindictive attitude of the Government. Charges under Nirbaya Act against Ayyanna Patrudu raised innumerable doubts about the intentions of the Government. The FIR no. 777/2020 dated 16.6.2020 was falsely lodged at Narsipatnam police station. In fact, Ayyanna Patrudu visited the municipal office of Narsipatnam on June 15, 2020, to protest against the removal of Latcha Patrudu’s photograph from its original place. Latcha Patrudu was a pioneer in giving voice to the downtrodden and weaker sections of the society. In this backdrop, the removal of Shri Latcha Patrudu’s photograph from the Municipal office is deemed as disempowering the weaker sections of the society. It is for this reason he went to protest at the municipal office.
