Former minister Merugu Nagarjuna criticized the TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh, stating that the state had become a hub of lawlessness under its rule and added that TDP MLAs were behaving like rowdies and that the TDP leadership was orchestrating attacks, particularly targeting YSRCP members.
Speaking the media at the YSRCP central office, Nagarjuna expressed concern over the deteriorating state of governance, stating that TDP has been fostering violence and atrocities across the state in the guise of “Red Book” governance. He questioned whether Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was aware of the misconduct and harassment by his MLAs.
Merugu Nagarjuna expressed his displeasure over the unfulfilled promises made during the elections, accusing TDP MLAs of using threats, engaging in attacks, and showing lawless behavior. He also raised concerns about the worsening condition of the police system. He said that YSRCP leaders were being harassed with false cases, while those attempting to file complaints were being targeted. He noted that people had lived peacefully during the previous government, but now, under Naidu’s three-month rule, there was widespread fear and insecurity.
He specifically mentioned TDP MLA Kolikapudi Srinivas from Tiruvuru, saying that even leaders within the TDP were afraid. Nagarjuna urged Naidu to take action against TDP, BJP, and Jana Sena MLAs, who were causing disorder in the state. He also slammed several TDP leaders, including Kotla Suryaprakash Reddy, Bojjala Sudheer Reddy, and Raghu Ramakrishna Raju, of violating the constitution in the first 100 days of the government, challenging CM Naidu to address the issue.
