In a recent development in Andhra Pradesh's political arena, Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha has taken a strong stance against the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), accusing its leaders of exploiting a sensitive issue for political gain. The incident in question is the desecration of a Dr. B.R. Ambedkar statue in Chittoor district, which has sparked outrage and raised questions about the state's law and order situation.
On October 3, a disturbing act of vandalism occurred in Devalampeta village, where a shop was set ablaze, and the revered Ambedkar statue was damaged. Ms. Anitha, accompanied by a delegation of politicians, visited the village and addressed a solidarity meeting, commending the police for their swift action in solving the case. However, her focus was on the alleged political motives behind the incident.
The Home Minister pointed fingers at YSRCP leader Perni Nani, criticizing his behavior at a police station, where he allegedly threatened officers. Ms. Anitha emphasized the importance of upholding law and order, stating, "There is no place for rowdyism and political arrogance in our government." She vowed to take legal action against those responsible, including the perpetrators and any political masterminds behind the scenes.
Furthermore, Ms. Anitha accused YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of attempting to divide the people along caste and communal lines. She attributed this to the YSRCP's frustration with the growing popularity of the NDA government. This incident has not only brought attention to the delicate balance of political power in the state but also highlights the potential consequences of exploiting sensitive social issues for political advantage. The Home Minister's strong words and commitment to justice leave the public awaiting the legal proceedings and the YSRCP's response to these serious allegations.
