All-party meeting in Vijayawada on September 11 to extend solidarity to TDP chief Naidu

All-party meeting to be held in Vijayawada on Sept 11 to condemn "illegal arrest" of TDP's N. Chandrababu Naidu. CPI State Sec. K. Ramakrishna alleges AP CID has become CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's private army. Calls for human rights activists and people's fora to join hands to denounce YSRCP govt's "anti-democratic measures".

Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary K. Ramakrishna on Sunday said that an all-party meeting was scheduled to be conducted in Vijayawada on September 11 to condemn the “illegal arrest” of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.

The leaders are also scheduled to meet Mr. Naidu after the meeting.

Addressing the media here, Mr. Ramakrishna said that Andhra Pradesh had turned into a platform for vengeful politics. He said that instead of providing administration, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was keen on taking revenge on political opponents.

He questioned the AP CID to clarify as to why they had failed to summon Mr. Naidu in the A.P. Skill Development Corporation case in the last two years.

“The CID personnel have become the private army of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy,” the CPI leader alleged, and said that all human rights activists and people’s fora should join hands to denounce the “anti-democratic measures” of the YSRCP government.
