TDP misusing official machinery

Hyderabad, Nov 26: Demanding the immediate arrest of TDP leaders involved in various cases, YSR Congress has said the TDP government has been misusing the police machinery prompting it to show raw discrimination while dealing with cases and the subsequent arrests.

“In utter disregard to the Court directions, TDP government has been shielding its leaders who are facing criminal charges on one hand and has been foisting false cases against YSR Congress leaders,” party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters here on Wednesday.

While the Nandyala MLA was arrested on flimsy grounds, the TDP leaders who raked up the skirmish and led the attack were let off and despite our complaints no action was taken. Even after the Court intervention and the State has been influencing the police to keep away from TDP leaders.

TDP leaders from Guntur and the neighbouring district have been instigating the farmers against Saraswathi Power Corporation, though the land was bought for higher than the market price, as YS Bharthi is on the Board of the Company.

False cases were foisted on Macherla MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy of our Party while local leaders despite facing serious charges are free as the police is neither booking cases or is delaying in pursuing the cases, she said.

Tthe Kurnool ZP Chairman is facing charges in an illicit liquor case while a Guntur Councilor is named in a murder case. They are scot free as they happen to be TDP leaders.

The Government is exerting pressure on police to ignore the cases of TDP leaders and we demand that the State should respect the law of the land and arrest the TDP leaders involved in the attack at Nandyal and the accused in Guntur district, she said.

Criticizing TDP leader Deveneni Uma for his remarks on YSR Congress, she said: “TDP has usurped the Party and power from the founder leader NTR while our Party is formed to take forward the ideals of YSR.”
