Less than 24 hours after TDP supporters allegedly attacked the house of former minister and YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu, another incident of violence was reported on Saturday
Hoping to recreate the past magic, the YSRCP chief announced the padayatra while addressing party activists in Eluru, while accusing the TDP-led NDA government of severely weakening every institution in the state.
Reddy said that the Constitution does not define the term “capital”, hence any place where the chief minister and the executive function from can serve as a capital. He also criticised Naidu’s push for building the greenfield capital city.
Former Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, with the party's regional coordinators and district presidents, will review the situation in districts affected by Cyclone Montha in Andhra Pradesh.
Reddy was on a visit to Visakhapatnam and Narsipatnam, and his tour garnered huge excitement among YSRCP supporters who spilled over onto the streets, braving heavy rain.
The former chief minister held a meeting with public representatives from the two segments at his camp office here and appealed to them for their continued support and cooperation, emphasising that this election should serve as a lesson for Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Naidu’s statement came after he received representations from the people at the TDP central headquarters at Mangalagiri.
YSRCP today alleged that the YSRCP chief’s security cover has suddenly been reduced overnight. The party also alleged that his bullet proof car broke down on his way to Vinukonda where a YSRCP activist was hacked to death.
Police placed YSR Congress Party MP from Rajampet, P. Midhun Reddy, under house arrest here on Sunday as he was planning to leave for Punganur in Chittoor district to meet party workers.
In the Lok Sabha polls, the TDP is leading in 16 seats, while the YSRCP has the lead in only 4 seats and BJP three seats as of now. There are 25 Lok Sabha seats in total in the southern state.
