New Delhi: A delegation of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) met President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday on one-year completion of YSRCP-led Andhra government.
Submitting a detailed report to the President, the opposition party mentioned about the deteriorating law and order in the state, attack on social activists and the three capital issues. The party mentioned about the increasing political violence in Andhra Pradesh and said that it is seen as a hindrance to their exercising rights.
TDP MP Jayadev Galla said, "YSRCP-led Andhra government has completed one year but there continues to be destruction of democratic institutions, law & order, attack on activists & three capital issue."
Attacking the ruling party, Galla said, "One year of YSRCP has been completed but the state is still does not have human, constitutional and democratic rights. There have been attempts by the state govt to remove the state legislative council for no particular reason.
He added, "The opposition leaders are being attacked and are denied fundamental human rights. Chandrababu Naidu was also arrested without any notice at midnight like a criminal or a terrorist. He was in severe pain but still, they took him to jail.
People's self-respect and economic capabilities are being damaged. Social activists who criticises the govt has to face the brunt. This govt has no respect for legal contracts and for law and order. The state is in huge debts but still, Reddy govt wants to have three capitals without thinking about the farmers, " the MP said.
