Govt's atrocities in Kuppam speak about Jagan's character, says Chandrababu
Amaravathi, Oct 27: The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Thursday felt that the series of atrocities committed by the ruling party leaders in Kuppam are a case study of the style of functioning of the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government.
The people of Kuppam, who are till now accustomed to only developmental activities are feeling strange with the atrocities being committed by the ruling party leaders, Chandrababu Naidu said. The former chief minister while holding the review on the party's performance in the Kuppam Assembly segment told the TDP leaders that Kuppam has been developed as a model segment since the beginning and the people in the constituency never encourage violence and hate politics.
Chandrababu Naidu is very particular that all the party leaders and the functionaries should mingle with everyone from the grassroots level and sail with the common man. The Kuppam electorate have only been voting for him out of affection and helping him emerge victorious, unlike Pulivendula where the voters exercise their franchise under constant threats.
Kuppam and Hindupur are only the segments in the State wherein the same symbol emerged victorious so many times, the TDP national president recalled. However, in Pulivendula, there was a change in both the symbols and the parties, he stated.
Attempts are being made to hit the Kuppam electorate morally and even physically, Chandrababu Naidu said and called upon the local party leaders to hit back in a fitting manner.
Soon, the TDP will teach a lesson to those who are misusing their power, Naidu expressed confidence.
The local TDP leaders briefed Chandrababu Naidu on the incidents that have been taking place. They informed the party's national president that they are not getting demoralized with the false cases being registered against them and the attacks on the party cadre.
In fact, such activities are only adding to the anti-incumbency, the Kuppam TDP activists told Chandrababu. They informed him that due to this growing anti-incumbency the Chief Minister's recent public meeting in Kuppam was a failure though the crowd has been mobilized from the neighboring States.
This is the basic reason as to why the TDP could not get strengthened in Mangalagiri, Naidu stated. He asked Lokesh to take certain measures to further strengthen the TDP since already some steps have been initiated to get the support of the local cadre.
Reviews have also been conducted with Kurnool incharge TG Bharat, and Inchhapuram incharge Bendalam Ashok.
