YSRCP Demands President's Rule in Andhra Pradesh Amid Election Violence ClaimsPreviousNext

YSRCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has demanded President's Rule in Andhra Pradesh, alleging widespread political violence and a breakdown of law and order during local election nominations. He accused Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's government of intimidation and misuse of police. In response, TDP leaders, including Palla Srinivasa Rao and Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar, dismissed these claims as politically motivated ploys aimed at disrupting democratic processes and warned against attempts to incite violence. Both sides emphasize the importance of free and fair elections amid ongoing tensions.
