TDP condemns ‘police attack’ on Chittoor ex-Mayor

Vijayawada, June 24 (Dumanimail) Telugu Desam Party Andhra Pradesh unit President K Atchannaidu on Friday condemned the Chittoor police for allegedly ‘running their car’ over ex-Mayor Kathari Hemalatha to injure her in a pre-planned manner.

Atchannaidu decried the manner in which the police filed false cases to intimidate the party ex-Mayor and prevent her from raising her voice against the car attack.

In a statement here, the senior TDP leader alleged that the ruling YSRCP leaders were resorting to mindless attacks by taking support from the police. What crime did Hemalatha commit to make the police run their car over her? Was there any democracy in the state any longer?, he asked.

The TDP state president stated that the YSRCP leaders were not even hesitating to take the lives of those who questioned the anti-people and autocratic policies of the state government.

The ex-Mayor was only saying that the ruling party leaders were threatening the witnesses in the case relating to the murder of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He termed it as shameless on the part of the police to degrade themselves in order to secure the favours of the YSRCP leaders. Some police officers turned into puppets in the hands of the ruling party like nowhere else in the country.

They were filing cases against the victims instead of doing their duty to rescue them.

Atchannaidu asked what message the police sent by filing cases against the followers of the TDP, charging them with obstructing their duties.

The fact was that the police allegedly ran their car over the former Mayor. Apparently, the ruling YSRCP leaders were misusing the police to settle their political scores with the opposition leaders, he flayed.

The senior TDP leader warned the police not to become pawns in the hands of the YSRCP leaders.

Eventually, it would be the police who would have to suffer from the serious consequences of their own illegal actions, he said.
