Andhra Pradesh: ‘Vote-bank politics helping certain outfits indulge in anti-national activities’

BJP State general secretary S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy has said the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and the Popular Front of India (PFI) are indulging in anti-national activities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana because both the governments are deliberately not cracking down on them.

It was because of the appeasement of some sections and vote-bank politics that organisations such as the SDPI and the PFI were trying to create disturbances within the country, Mr. Vishnuvardhan Reddy said while addressing the media here on Thursday.

He said the police remained a mute spectator when a mob owing allegiance to a particular community had attacked the Atamkur police station in Kurnool district after alleged attempts to build a place of worship illegally were foiled.
