AP Home Minister Anita Vangalapudi has challenged former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy, who announced a dharna at Delhi alleging failure of law and order in the state, for a debate on it with her. She said as Jagan is going to Delhi, she is also ready to go there to discuss with him.
She asked Jagan from where the debate started? Whether from the killing of his uncle? Whether law and order scenario in the state during the last five years? Or last one month TDP governance?
She lamented that Pulivendula MLA Jagan has resorted to ‘diversion politics’ fearing that if he attends assembly he would be exposed. She said that the government will present a white paper on law and order situation in the state in the Assembly on July 24. She challenged Jagan, if he is courageous enough, let him attend the assembly and participate in the discussion.
If Jagan is particular about visiting Delhi, she said that he can go there even after the assembly session. She deplored that the people of Andhra Pradesh are feeling shameful with the attitude of the YCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy.
Referring to Jagan’s allegation that as many as 36 political murders took place after TDP came to power, the Home Minister demanded that the former chief minister reveal details of those murders. Alleging that he is trying to create confusion among people with false information, she asked why not the government take action for such a mischievous attitude?
Anita said after the formation of TDP government in the state four political murders were reported, of which three persons killed were from TDP. Stating that she is ready to give details including crime numbers, she asked can Jagan deny facts?
The Home Minister alleged that Jagan’s Vinukonda visit has exposed to the people something going wrong with his mind. She alleged that people confined his party to 11 MLA seats only due to implementation of Raja Reddy’s constitution, keeping abayance of Ambedkar’s constitution. Credit goes to him for introducing the ‘culture of poison’ in the state, she added.
Anita recalled that wherever law and order problem arises immediately chief minister Chandrababu Naidu conducts a review and alerts the police. She asked whether Jagan conducted any review on law and order in the state during five years of his term as chief minister?
She recalled that national reports revealed that crimes against women and girls have doubled during Jagan’s regime in the state.
