    YSRCP imposed factional culture on the state: Pawan

    Rajamahendravaram: Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan said that under the YSRCP administration, the faction culture of Pulivendula has been imposed in all areas and the goodness is going to be muted by the threats of criminals.

    On Sunday, he addressed a meeting held with party leaders of Razole Constituency. He hoped that criminals should not stay in politics. If criminals take power, the state will be destroyed, he said adding that the state’s present status is perfect proof of this.

    He stated that he intended to say that all castes should live together.

    He said that Jana Sena’s ideology is necessary for the people and the future of the state. He said that it is his preference that there should be one-third of women in the posts and the party. Even though the leader, who won from Jana Sena in Razole has defected from the party, the activists and people are behind Jana Sena.

    Pawan Kalyan called upon people to recall the representatives, who are defecting from parties. The reform to strengthen democracy should start in Godavari districts, he said.

    Somu Veeraraju advises Chandrababu to fight YSRCP democratically

    Ongole: The BJP Andhra Pradesh president Somu Veerraju advised the TDP president Nara Chandrababu Naidu to stop being like a cry-baby over law and order failure in the state, and try to fight the ruling YSR Congress Party democratically. Somu Veerraju participated in the International Yoga Day celebrations at QIS College of Engineering and Technology in Ongole on Wednesday morning and spoke to the press.

    Responding to the press, the BJP AP president said that when Chandrababu Naidu is the chief minister, he ordered the CBI to not enter the state and the state agencies to not cooperate with it. But now, Somu said, Chandrababu Naidu is trying to target BJP by demanding action on the YSRCP government. He said that though the Mamata Banerjee government in Kolkata killed about 500 BJP workers, they are fighting it in the elections to uproot the party from the ground, just like they are fighting against the Communist party in Kerala. He said that it is not right to demand BJP for an answer for everything that is happening in the state, and advised the TDP chief to take on YSRCP in the elections.

    Veerraju observed that it is not in his power to respond to the alliance with any party in the state. He said that Chandrababu Naidu met the BJP high command and it will respond over the alliance when it is time. He said that though some target BJP and call the BJP the party that doesn’t get votes more than the NOTA, they are after it before elections seeking an alliance. Responding to the protest by a section of the public demanding BJP for Special Category Status, Railway Zone etc in Chirala on Tuesday night, Somu advised the press and public to question Chandrababu instead of the BJP. He said that it is the then chief minister Chandrababu Naidu who denied SCS for Special Package. He said bringing the railway zone to Visakhapatnam is a simple task for the stature of Chandrababu Naidu, who influenced national politics and changed the prime ministers.

    Speaking at the Yoga Day celebrations, BJP AP president Somu Veerraju advised the youth to post wishes and greetings celebrating International Yoga Day, on their social media handles. He said that though many took Yoga to the four corners of the world before Narendra Modi, he is the man who brought wider acceptance to it as a practice that helps improve physical and mental health, in all communities.
