Endorsing the views of Union Home Minister Amit Shah that Andhra Pradesh has become a hotbed for ‘‘rampant corruption and anarchy’‘, Telugu Desam Party national general secretary Nara Lokesh contended that Visakhapatnam had turned into the ‘crime capital‘ of the State.
The kidnapping of the son and wife of YSR Congress Party MP M.V.V. Satyanarayana and his auditor by gangsters who themselves allegedly had links with the ruling party in the city was, he alleged, testament to his allegations, Mr. Lokesh said during his Yuva Galam padayatra.
“The four-year misrule of the YSRCP is marked by a series of scams and lawlessness,” Mr. Lokesh charged, referring to allegations of illicit silica and gravel mining being done in Nellore district.
