Former YSRCP MLA Abbayya Chowdary Raises Law and Order Concerns
Former YSRCP MLA Abbayya Chowdary alleges life threats and a complete breakdown of law and order in his Denduluru constituency.
The law and order situation in Andhra Pradesh has reached a breaking point, according to former YSRCP MLA Abbayya Chowdary. Expressing deep concern over the deteriorating security environment, the former legislator claimed that he no longer feels safe even within his own territory.
Threats to Personal Safety in Denduluru
Speaking on Monday, Chowdary highlighted a frightening shift in the state's stability, specifically pointing to his constituency, Denduluru. He revealed that the current climate has become so volatile that his ability to perform basic public duties has been severely restricted.
"Law and order has completely deteriorated in the state, especially in my constituency," Chowdary stated. He expressed frustration over his inability to visit local villages or engage in community programmes, noting that his movement is being stifled by fear.
The former MLA went further, alleging that there are active attempts to target him. "I am facing threats of attack and assassination. Have you ever seen such an incident in India, where an ex-MLA is unable to travel freely in his own constituency?" he questioned, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Questions Raised Against Police Functioning
Chowdary did not hold back in his criticism of the state's security apparatus. He demanded clarity on the role of the authorities, asking why a public figure is left vulnerable in such a manner. He specifically questioned the Police Department, asking what measures are being taken to protect him and restore order to the region.
YSRCP Slams Media for Insulting Government Employees
In a separate development, the YSRCP has also taken a stand against certain media segments. Party spokesperson Putha Siva Shankar issued a strong condemnation regarding the treatment of government employees who recently staged protests for their demands.
Siva Shankar alleged that media outlets have been using derogatory language to describe these workers, using terms like "blade batch" and "ganja batch." He pointed out the irony and insult in such labels, noting that many Village and Ward Secretariat employees hold high-level qualifications, including:
- B.Tech degrees
- M.Tech degrees
- Postgraduate degrees
The spokesperson criticized those in television studios for ridiculing individuals seeking government jobs and demanded legal action against those responsible for such offensive branding. He further urged the government to address the genuine grievances of these employees and withdraw cases filed against those participating in peaceful protests.
