YSRCP blames TDP for igniting riots, fuelling violence in Macherla

MACHERLA: Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy, Macherla YSRCP MLA, condemned the violent clashes that erupted in Palnadu in the early hours of Saturday and accused the TDP of orchestrating the violence.

According to YSRCP MLA, the entire incident was a well-planned conspiracy concocted by the opposition TDP to destroy social harmony in Palnadu.

He said that after facing criticism from the Palnadu people, the TDP had a pressing need for attention and turned to violence to damage the reputation of the YSRCP. He precisely accused TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh of sending faction leaders to Macherla on purpose to incite rioting.

YSRCP MLA alleged that since faction-based sentiments are prevalent in the area, TDP misused these sentiments to gain political benefits. He said, "This is the true face of the Telugu Desam Party"

Attacking TDP leader Brahmananda Reddy, Macherla MLA accused him of provoking people and giving instructions to TDP activists to indulge in arson and ransack cars, and homes and even attack people.

He further questioned, How were TDP activists prepared with sticks & rods if they were only visiting the area to conduct the Idhem Karma Ra program? YSRCP MLA added that this is a shred of clear evidence that TDP activists came well-prepared to attack people and ignite violence in the region.

TDP was responsible for the destruction of all public property, vehicles, and houses. The whole incident has been captured on camera. We have all the videos. The authorities should investigate the incident and take speedy action against the culprits, he said.
