Tadepalli, Jan 31: Former Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly condemned the murder attempt on senior YSRCP leader and former minister Ambati Rambabu, holding Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directly responsible for the growing violence and lawlessness in the state.
Taking to X, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy asked whether attacks and murder attempts have become the answer to anyone who dares to question the failures and conspiracies of the ruling regime. He said Chandrababu’s conspiracy using the Tirumala laddu prasadam had completely collapsed after reports from premier national institutions NDDB and NDRI exposed the falsehoods. Unable to digest the truth coming out, Chandrababu has now resorted to violence through his goons, he alleged.
YS Jagan said that instead of apologising for hurting the sentiments of crores of devotees across the country and the world, Chandrababu Naidu is trying to divert attention by encouraging attacks on YSRCP leaders. As part of this strategy, a murder attempt was carried out on Ambati Rambabu, who has been consistently questioning the failures and wrongdoings of the government.
He stated that TDP goons attacked Ambati Rambabu with sticks and iron rods, while the police failed miserably to provide protection. He stated that the attack was carried out under the directions of Chandrababu Naidu himself, and that the police behaved as silent spectators, as if they were guarding the attackers instead of stopping them. This is extremely dangerous and alarming, he said.
YS Jagan further said that after the lab reports exposed the laddu ghee propaganda, the ruling party resorted to installing defamatory flexis and spreading false campaigns, and also instigated attacks on YSRCP leaders including Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, Vidadala Rajini and Bolla Brahmanayudu. Targeting Ambati Rambabu with a murder attempt clearly reflects Chandrababu Naidu’s authoritarian and violent mindset, he said.
He warned that repeated attacks on senior YSRCP leaders show how Andhra Pradesh has turned into a “jungle raj”, where law, justice and constitutional values have no meaning. He demanded immediate intervention by the Governor to stop the deteriorating situation in the state.
YS Jagan also demanded strict action against officials responsible for failing to prevent the attacks, including the DGP, Guntur DIG and SP. He urged the Centre to provide adequate security to YSRCP leaders and said the party’s MPs will submit a representation to the Union Home Ministry seeking immediate intervention.
He concluded by stating that such acts of violence and intimidation pose a serious threat to democracy and cannot be tolerated.
