TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday asked AP DGP K V Rajendranath Reddy to take Voluntary Retirement (VRS) if he cannot handle law and order in the state. Chandrababu Naidu said that the DGP had completely failed to control the law and order in the state.

He referred to the mining officials inspecting the mining activity in Martur with anti-social elements and rowdy attacks in Krosuru village. He wondered how the police allowed the officials to visit the mining along with rowdies. He alleged that the officials have entered into the mining area with rowdies carrying deadly weapons.

He said that the police were expected to be neutral and protect the law and order. However, in Andhra Pradesh, the police were acting as the YSR Congress Party workers. He sought to advise the DGP to change their uniform and took the YSR Congress Party flag.

He wondered how an assistant director level officer in the mines department had gone to the mining area with rowdies accompanying him. He wanted to know what the police were doing when the officials were inspecting the area with rowdies.

Chandrababu Naidu regretted that there was no law and order in the state during the last five years. The YSR Congress had destroyed every institution. The rowdies and other anti-social elements were taking advantage of the police silence.

He alleged that there is Goondaraj ruling Andhra Pradesh. Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was allowing rowdies to take over the law and order in the state. People were living under fear in every village across the state, he said.

The TDP chief sought to advise the DGP to stop serving the political interests of the ruling party. He also advised the DGP to work as a police officer and not as the YSR Congress activist. He also alleged that some district SPs were also allowing rowdies to rule the districts. Several districts were witnessing the anti-social elements taking advantage.
