Vijayawada, June 19 (UNI) Alleging that Chandrababu Naidu is scared for his failure in governance and his impatience is being manifested in diversion politics and foisting false cases against political opponents, former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday claimed the overwhelming response to his recent visits is a standing testimony of the huge anti-incumbency that rose within one year.
Speaking to the media here, Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that Chief Minister Chandrababu is misusing power to muzzle the voice of opposition leaders.
The huge success of Betrayal Day which got an overwhelming response shows that anti-incumbency has set in very fast as none of the Super Six promises were implemented and law and order deteriorated with harassment and false cases, he claimed.
“I visited Sattenapalli on Wednesday in a curfew-like situation which shows the measure of repressive methods being adopted by Chandrababu Naidu government. What is wrong if the Opposition leader visits to console a family and people are coming in large numbers as they are vexed with the government and are looking towards YSRCP,” he questioned.
“The YSRCP leaders, who are close to Jagan Mohan Reddy, are being jailed based on false cases based on confessional statements by small people. This is how Vallabhaneni Vamsi, Dhanunjaya Reddy, Krishnamohan Reddy, Raj Kasireddy, Nandigama Suresh and others were held and trying to implicate Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and P V Mithun Reddy,” he slammed.
The apex court had to use its discretionary powers to grant bail to Kommineni Srinivasa Rao who was arrested using the same modus operandi. Then what action should be taken against those TDP workers and leaders who attacked Sakshi properties at multiple locations which is nothing short of unbridled rowdyism, he asked.
"Farmers are in distress and not getting MSP for any crop. They are forced to sell paddy for Rs 300 less and five farmers have committed suicides. The government has no concern, and if anyone questions, Chandrababu Naidu says that dissent and Opposition will be grounded," Jagan Mohan Reddy lashed out.
