The style of functioning of the ruling party clearly indicates threat to the life of former chief minister and TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, inside the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail, observed TDP politburo member and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, on Friday.
Pointing out that Chandrababu has personally written a letter to the ACB court judge that there is no safety for him inside the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail, Ramakrishnudu told media persons at the party headquarters. He said that the judge should immediately examine whether the State Government has made necessary security arrangements for Chandrababu inside the jail. Ramakrinudu asked as to why the State Government has till now not ordered any kind of inquiry into the incidents in which drones moved around the jail.
“It is better to say that Chandrababu is under the custody of the State Government than inside the jail,” the TDP politburo member felt. Stating that advisor to the Government, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, has been supervising all the issues ever since Chandrababu has been sent to jail, the Leader of the Opposition in the Upper House said that Ramakrishna Reddy has been issuing all kinds of directions to the jail officials, doctors and others.
Ramakrishnudu asked as to why the doctors are not making the health condition of Chandrababu public daily after conducting medical tests. He expressed surprise that the original reports submitted by the doctors are not being released to the media but the reports certified by the jailer are being produced.
The TDP politburo member is of the strong opinion that the Skill Development project case is a totally false one and sending Naidu illegally to jail in this case is nothing but a political vendetta. People have already realised this fact, he added.
Knowing pretty well that Chandrababu did not commit any kind of crime in the Skill Development case, he has been sent to jail only to seriously damage his health and to prevent him from reaching the people, Yanamala felt. As the Government has till now not taken any measures on the safety and security of Chandrababu and this clearly reflects the fact that the State Government is directly targeting him, he stated.
The main target of Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is to face the next elections without any Opposition party, like how it has happened in Cambodia earlier, he remarked. For reasons best known, Jagan Mohan Reddy could not digest the massive public response to Naidu, he maintained. “How a person, who killed his own paternal uncle for the sake of power, can care for the Opposition parties and the senior leaders,” Ramakrishnudu remarked.
Those who have earlier claimed thousands of crores of scam in the Skill Development project and Chandrababu is directly involved in it are now projecting the membership subscription amount of the TDP activists as the money involved in this scam, Yanamala noted. The industrial sector which was totally dependent on human intelligence is now banking on artificial intelligence and the Skill Development Corporation was set up keeping in view this issue, he stated.
Ramakrishnudu demanded that enough security be provided to Naidu at the earliest possible time and said that quality medical facilities be arranged for him.
