Crimes and ganja smuggling have gone up in Vizag during YSRCP’s tenure, alleges Lokesh

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh has alleged that crimes including land grabbings, kidnaps and murders have gone up during the rule of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government in the last five years.

Mr Lokesh had a whirlwind tour of Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli districts on the third day of his ‘Shankaravam’ programme on February 19 (Monday). He addressed three public meetings in Visakhapatnam North, Gajuwaka and Anakapalli constituencies.

“When the family members of a ruling party (YSRCP) MP can be kidnapped and an MRO be murdered, what safety does a common man have? This indicates the failure and apathy of the YSRCP government,” said Mr. Lokesh while referring to the law and order system in the State.
