Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Andhra Pradesh unit president Somu Veerraju has demanded that the State government must order an inquiry by a sitting judge into the circumstances which led to violence at Amalapuram over the renaming of Konaseema district.
“Naming any welfare scheme or programme after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar never triggered such an outrage before. The BJP will not keep quiet if the political parties drag Dr. Ambedkar’s name into such controversies for mileage,” Mr. Veerraju told the media here on Wednesday.
Referring to the completion of eight years of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, Mr. Veerraju said that the country had achieved rapid strides under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that ‘corruption was conspicuous by its absence’.
