Vijayawada: After the announcement of the election schedule, the YSRCP is escalating political violence in Andhra Pradesh, TDP president and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, said here on Tuesday and sought the immediate intervention of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to ensure a level playing field.
Though Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is set to lose power in another 50 days, he is now encouraging political violence as the fear of losing power is haunting him, the TDP leader said in a statement released at Amaravati. "The YSRCP goondas who are in deep depression are resorting to attacks on the TDP activists in various parts of the State," he alleged.
He said Mulaiah of Gadikota in Giddalur Assembly segment was brutally hacked to death since he attended the recent Praja Galam meeting held at Chilakaluripet while 21-year-old Imam Hussain of Chagalamarri in Allegedda segment too was mercilessly murdered and the car of the TDP activist in Macherla, Suresh, was set on fire, Naidu said and demanded police to act impartially.
