TD terms attachment of guest house as psycho act

Vijayawada: Telugu Desam leaders including the party’s state president K Atchannaidu have severely criticised the attachment of the guest house in which Chandrababu Naidu was residing and termed it “a psycho act” on the part of the Jagan-led state government.

They said that no ring road existed in Amaravati and the quid pro quo allegations are baseless. Jagan Reddy was using the ACB and CID to take political revenge on his rivals, they added.

Atchannaidu stated, “The psycho government is making a false propaganda that the then TD government had committed illegalities by changing the inner ring road, which does not exist, and has not been laid. False accusations are being levelled against Chandrababu to divert the attention of the farmers from the failures in grain procurement and from the arrest of Avinash in the Viveka murder case.”

He further claimed that attachment of a rented house was proof of the YSRC's psycho actions as there was no clarity to the Jagan government on the house as they once stated that Undavalli's residence was on government land and once again argued that it was illegal.

Atchannaidu alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy is using investigation agencies for political purposes and he was ruining the state with acts of destruction and vandalism. “Jagan Reddy is a ruler who does not care about the hardships of the people.” He predicted that “the days are coming soon when Jagan Reddy's psycho regime and autocratic tendencies will end.”

TD state Secretary Buddha Venkanna stated that the YSRC leaders are spreading canards that they have “attached” the guest house. He said the fact was that Chandrababu was staying there on rent and the guest house is in the name of Lingamaneni.

TD Politburo member Bonda Umamaheswar Rao alleged that the authorities were filing false cases with new laws on issues that got stuck in the court.

He asked how Chandrababu and Narayana became accused in the “non-existent” inner ring road. “The courts have struck down allegations of insider trading in the past. Chandrababu did not do anything wrong, so he did not go to jail.”

TD senior leader Dhulipalla Narendra claimed that Lingamaneni Ramesh had bought lands in the surrounding areas of Guntur before the bifurcation of the then united AP state and there was no quid pro quo.

TD politburo member and MLA Nimmakayala Chinarajappa said there was no truth in the allegations that Chandrababu misused his position and committed quid pro quo.
