Jagan Reddy warns Chandrababu Naidu

Kadapa (Andhra Pradesh):

YSRCP leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday issued a stark warning to Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, saying that if the state government continues to attack his party workers, it will face consequences.

The YSRCP chief’s warning comes after his party leader Ajay Kumar Reddy was allegedly attacked by Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers in Vempalli. Ajay Kumar Reddy is currently undergoing treatment at RIMS Hospital. He made these remarks while speaking to the media on the premises of RIMS Hospital.

Jagan Mohan Reddy accused Chandrababu Naidu of promoting a culture of violence and fear which he said was unprecedented in the state. He added: “If the attacks on his party workers continue, they will have to face the consequences.”

Meanwhile, the YSRCP, through its official X-handle, released a video of Jagan Mohan Reddy visiting the injured party worker. It said, “Jagan stood by YSRCP worker. YS Jagan visited YSRCP worker Ajay Kumar Reddy, who was injured in a mob attack by TDP goons.”

In another post, the party quoted Jagan Reddy as saying, “Stopping Ajay Kumar Reddy on the road and beating him mercilessly for voting for YSRCP in the elections. What will we achieve by doing this? Till now there is no culture of such attacks in Vempalle, Pulivendula constituency. But the Telugu Desam Party is sowing the seeds of a tradition of attacks across the state.”

Jagan Mohan Reddy, speaking to the media, also accused the TDP government of reneging on its promises, including providing school bags to students. He called on the people to unite against the TDP’s “autocratic rule” and ensure that the party is defeated in the next elections.

In the 18th Lok Sabha election, the TDP won 16 out of 25 seats, while the YSRCP won only four seats.
