Jagan should condemn bid to attack Ayyanna, he says
YSR Congress Party workers’ bid to attack the former Minister Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu by picketing his house in Narsipatnam on Saturday was an instigation from Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleged TDP Polit Bureau member Kalava Srinivasulu. He sought a statement from the Chief Minister condemning the act of his partymen.
TDP leaders and workers on Saturday staged a dharna at the Mahatma Gandhi statue near Clock Tower Circle here and demanded the dismissal of Pedana MLA Jogi Ramesh from the Assembly for his alleged attack on the TDP cadres and the bid to picket the house of party chief and Opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu in Amaravati on Friday.
“The wild, anti-democratic governance of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was visible when he did not stop his partymen from taking the law into their hands and the State police are hand in glove with the ruling party as they did not stop such a large crowd from proceeding towards Mr. Ayyanna Patrudu’s house,” Mr. Srinivasulu told reporters. In both incidents, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy should be made Accused No. 2 (A2) as these incidents happened with his full knowledge, the TDP leader alleged.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the Advisory Council of the OBC Department of AICC unanimously thanked senior leader Rahul Gandhi for courageously taking up the cause of social justice for the marginalised sections of society, and standing up for the cause of the backward classes in particular.
