VIJAYAWADA: Jana Sena political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar condemned the attacks on the Opposition parties by the YSR Congress government and laid stress on protecting democracy.
Speaking to the media at Tenali in Guntur district on Thursday, he asserted that the Opposition parties had every right to fight for the problems of the people and also to expose the failures of the ruling party.
Referring to the conduct of the Janavani programme in Visakhapatnam earlier, where the ruling party leaders tried to provoke their party activists, but they maintained patience, he said that the police carried out a search operation in the hotel at mid-night where their party chief was staying and booked 42 party leaders under provisions of attempt to murder and other sections.
Similarly, the ruling party was also creating a tense atmosphere at Bhimavaram, where their party chief contested in the last polls, during the visit of Telugu Desam national general secretary Nara Lokesh for taking up the Yuvagalam Padayatra and even booking the TD leaders on charges of attempt to murder. He alleged that the ruling party members tied up flex banners and tried to provoke their party supporters during the Varahi yatra by their party president at Bhimavaram earlier. He condemned the practice of implicating the Opposition leaders and activists in police cases to trouble them and felt the need to give up such a practice.
He said that the people had decided to send the ruling YSR Congress government home in the upcoming elections in the state.
