Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu wrote a letter to the Director General of Police K.V. Rajendranath Reddy, requesting him to take appropriate action that would ensure the maintenance of law and order in the State so that people, especially women, can live in safety.
Mr. Naidu was referring to a string of incidents that jeopardised law and order in the State including the attack on Gopalapuram MLA T. Venkat Rao for his alleged role in the murder of a leader of his party at G. Kothapalli village in Eluru district and the gang rape of a woman at Repalle railway station.
He stated that women, Dalits, and backward classes were suffering a lot due to the government’s apathy towards the attacks on them.
