Former MLA and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Parliamentary constituency president Palla Srinivasa Rao expressed concern over the kidnap of YSRCP MP M.V.V. Satyanarayana’s family members by a rowdy-sheeter for ransom.
The incident aptly sums up the law and order situation in the State under the YSRCP government, Mr. Satyanarayana said.
“If such a thing can happen to the family of a Lok Sabha MP, that too of a ruling party, how safe is the common man?” Mr. Srinivasa Rao said, hinting that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy should take responsibility for such incidents.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Mr Srinivasa Rao alleged that after the YSRCP had come to power, crimes and atrocities have seen a drastic rise in the State. He alleged that many YSRCP leaders have been supporting drug peddling and illicit liquor transportation, apart from land-grabbing, he said.
He said as per recent crime records, murders and attacks against women have increased. He added that after announcing Visakhapatnam as executive capital, a large number of government lands were being encroached upon.
TDP Mahila wing president V. Anitha also condemned the incident and demanded the ruling party to acknowledge its failure in upholding law and order in the State.
