Opposition would not hesitate to incite communal violence: Andhra CM Jagan Mohan Reddy

Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP was unable to accept the growing popularity of the government and was hence trying to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere.

Blaming the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for the disturbances that were witnessed on Tuesday, Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy made a serious allegation that the Opposition party would not hesitate to incite communal violence as part of its conspiracy to derail the government’s welfare agenda.

In his speech that followed the disbursement of financial assistance under Jagananna Thodu scheme on Wednesday, Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP was unable to accept the growing popularity of the government and was hence trying to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere.

He insisted that ever since it lost power in the 2019 elections, the TDP was placing obstacles in the government’s path by filing a slew of petitions in the High Court and spreading falsehoods through the ‘yellow media’.
