Strongly condemning the alleged ‘murder attempt’ on former Minister Ambati Rambabu, the YSR Congress Party has urged the Centre to address the issue of ‘political violence’ in Andhra Pradesh. The party views the incident as a severe attack on democracy and a reflection of the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. YSRCP Parliamentary Party leader Y.V. Subba Reddy criticized the passive police response to the attack on Rambabu’s residence by TDP cadres in Guntur.
YSRCP plans to highlight the ‘deteriorating situation’ in Andhra Pradesh before the Central government and the Union Home Ministry to restore law and order and ensure the safety of political leaders. MP Gurumoorthy denounced the attack on Rambabu as a disgraceful act and a symbol of the coalition government’s decline. He expressed concerns over the rising ‘excesses’ of the ruling alliance and the complicity of the police in enabling such attacks.
The party intends to file complaints with the Central government, in Parliament, and before relevant commissions regarding the attack on its leader. YSRCP Youth Wing State President Jakkampudi Raja criticized the Naidu government for promoting a culture of political vendetta and accused the police of acting as a ‘private army.’ Former MLA Katasani Ramireddy labeled the attack on Rambabu as ‘inhuman’ and accused the coalition government of targeting YSRCP leaders to divert attention from its failures.
