Coalition misusing police

Guntur, June 22: YSRCP has lambasted the coalition government for misusing police to settle political scores and indiscriminately file false cases violating all norms only to please their political bosses and resorting to intimidation besides working with the sole intention of trying to scuttle YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s public contact programmes.
Speaking to media here on Sunday, Former Minister Ambati Rambabu said such acts will only strengthen our resolve to fight against the government and warned TDP leadership that they would not lose heart but will fight back the repression and the attempts of character assassination of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy would result in a groundswell of support from the public.
The fabricated stories and the death of a person during YS Jagan’s Palnadu tour have been blown out of proportion and versions came out aimed at tarnishing the image of our leader. After the grand success of the tour the police, under the instructions of higher ups, tried to implicate YSRCP leaders in the case and backed out only after our intervention.
Just after the incident, TDP and its friends have started a media trial aimed at spreading lies against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and went in circles to tell that it was his car that had hit the person Singamayya resulting in his death. The SP himself confirmed that it was not Jagan’s vehicle but the one that accompanied the convoy that caused the mishap.
Jagan is such a person that he would ensure that the injured person be admitted to hospital before resuming the tour. But TDP-friendly media has been busy doling out false stories to dilute the success of our leader’s tour, he said.
The government failed to provide the required protection during YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s tour on one hand and trying to stop people from joining the rally. When a popular leader is on the move the basic crowd management method of maintaining the circular rope was not ensured and his security was compromised, he said.
The police also registered a case against me in Nagarapalem police station and asked me to report in the stipulated time. Out of jealousy stemming from the huge success of YS Jagan, cases were filed against all the local leaders under various cases but we will take on the heat and police should maintain law and order and not be toys in the hands of Lokesh, he said.
