YSR Congress party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday said his party would launch a nation-wide campaign against the alleged lawlessness in the state under the rule of Telugu Desam Party-led coalition government.
Speaking to media at Ibrahimpatnam in NTR district after calling on former minister Jogi Ramesh, Jagan said the YSRCP would explore all possible avenues to fight against the violence being unleashed by the TDP goons against their political opponents.
“We shall move the Supreme Court and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), to expose the lawlessness in the state and violence being perpetrated against the YSRCP leaders,” he said.
The YSRCP chief said the ruling coalition was systematically targeting the YSRCP leaders who were exposing the misrule of the Chandrababu Naidu government.
“The template of arson and attacks on the YSRCP leaders has been the same, whether it was against Ambati Rambabu, Jogi Ramesh, or Vidadala Rajini. The TDP mobs worked in tandem with the police and carried out these attacks,” he said.
Jagan alleged that petrol bombs and acid bottles were hurled into the house of Jogi Ramesh when his aged father was alone at home.
“When our party tried to expose the lies of Chandrababu Naidu, the law of jungle raj prevailed in the form of attacks on the houses of YSRCP leaders,” he said.
The YSRCP president said his party would launch a massive campaign on all available forums against the unabated attacks on YSRCP leaders who exposed the lies of the government.
He said the attacks on the YSRCP leaders were carried out only because they had undertaken pujas at temples, seeking God’s blessings so that good sense would prevail upon Naidu.
“They were only protesting against the huge posters and cutouts put up by the TDP to demean political adversaries on the Tirupati ghee adulteration issue,” he said.
