Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has demanded for a probe into the responsibility of the concerned police officials for the attack on Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy with a gravel stone. As the incident exposed the grave failure in the chief minister’s security, he wondered what is the use of assigning the same police officers responsible for these lapses to probe into the attack incident?
He asserted that an intense probe should be conducted on the role of DGP, Intelligence Chief, Vijayawada Police Commissioner and Chief Minister’s Security officials role in this attack. To ensure an impartial probe into this incident, he suggested that those officers responsible should be transferred immediately and the probe should be handed over to competent officials.
Jana Sena chief said that an impartial and independent probe only will expose the hand that threw stones and the person behind that hand will be revealed. Only then, he said that the masterminds and protagonists will be revealed.
Pawan recalled that the practice of security measures during YS Jagan visit include using curtains around the route and also cutting trees. Moreover, he holds meetings only during broad daylight. But why were all such practices given up here?, he wondered.
He further asked what is needed to suspend the electricity supply during the chief minister’s visit and make the trip in the dark? He said all security related aspects should be probed in depth so as to expose real culprits.
Pawan Kalyan reminded that security lapses were also revealed during last month’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state. He warned continuation of such incompetent officers in key positions will be a threat to security of VIPs visits in the state. Such negligent attitude of the officers in the state will question conduct of elections with transparency, he added. He asked the Central Election Commission and the Chief Election Officer of Andhra Pradesh to pay attention to this matter.
