New Delhi: YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s protest against the TDP led NDA atrocities on their party activists got a massive support and solidarity from various political party leaders on Wednesday at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy staged a protest on Wednesday at Jantar Mantar against the TDP activists’ atrocities on the public, YSRCP activists, leaders and sympathizers in the AP State since 45 days. He also exhibited a photo exhibition on the atrocities occurred in the State.

The Samajwadi party Chief and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav visited the protest site and extended his solidarity to YS Jagan. He condemned the violence and expressed his gratitude to Jagan for inviting him to the protest.

Without the invitation, I would not have been aware of the severe State of violence occurring in Andhra Pradesh. The TDP’s actions are an attempt to instill fear among the people of Andhra Pradesh by targeting YSRC workers, he alleged. He urged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to take stern measures to halt the violence and ensure the safety and security of all political workers and people in the State.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticized the TDP Government for the continuous violence against YSRC workers, and called for a detailed investigation by the Centre. Another MP of the party Arvind Sawant said, If the violence continues, AP will soon become the next Manipur. Rajya Sabha MP and AIADMK leader M Thambidurai lashed out at the TDP-led NDA government, and urged Naidu to take serious measures against TDP goons and put an end to the atrocities.

TMC MP Nadimul Haque expressed his anger against the Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh Government over the continuous violence in the State.

YS Jagan in his address in the protest said that the self-styled Red Book governance has been unleashed by the TDP, policing has been made ineffective, and State plunged into lawlessness. Jagan said Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a series of unprecedented atrocities under the TDP government in the last 45 days. The rule of law has been blatantly disregarded, and the administration has indulged in acts that can be described as nothing short of tyrannical, he alleged.

The targeted violence and harassment faced by YSRCP sympathizers is not just an attack on a political party but an attack on democracy itself, he said. The self-styled Red Book governance has been unleashed by the TDP, and policing has been made ineffective. Worse still is the registering of false cases against the victims, thus plunging the State into lawlessness, he added.

I call upon every citizen of the country to raise their voice against these atrocities and demand accountability from those in power. We must ensure that justice prevails and that the TDP government and Naidu are held accountable for their actions,’ he said.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav was the first to attend the protest and strongly condemned the ongoing violence against YSRC workers perpetrated by TDP supporters. Shiv Sena (UBT), AIADMK and TMC leaders also extended their support to Jagan.
