Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N. Chandrababu Naidu has demanded immediate intervention by the Election Commission to check increasing political violence in Andhra Pradesh.
He said on Tuesday that at a time when the election process is on in the state, the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) is escalating political violence.
Asserting that Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy will be losing power in another 50 days, Naidu alleged he was encouraging political violence as the fear of losing power is haunting him.
Naidu said in a statement that the YSRCP āgoondasā who are in deep depression are resorting to attacks on the TDP activists in various parts of the state.
The TDP chief mentioned the killing of two TDP supporters during the last couple of days. Mulaiah of Gadikota in GIddalur Assembly segment was brutally hacked to death for attending the recent Praja Galam meeting held at Chilakaluripet while 21-year-old Imam Hussain of Chagalamarri in Allegedda segment too was mercilessly murdered.
