TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Saturday gave a fresh call to the people to hold a protest on Sunday against the illegal arrest of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. Lokesh said that the protest would be held across the world from 7 pm to 7.05 pm on Sunday.
He wanted the people to tie their eyes and raise slogans like Nijam Gelavali. He wanted the rank and file of the party and the people of Andhra Pradesh to open the eyes of Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to the truth.
The TDP had already held protests like Mota Mogiddam, Kantito Kranti, Nyayaniki Sankellu and Jaganasura Dahanam ever since Chandrababu Naidu was arrested. They beat the plates and made a sound as part of their protest. Later, they held candles in hand and observed silence in protest.
The TDP leaders also tied their hands as part of Nyayaniki Sankellu protest. They burnt the effigies of Jagan Mohan Reddy on Dasara as part of Jaganasura Dahanam programme.
The latest is to tie their eyes and shout Nijam Gelavali so that Jagan Mohan Reddy would open his eyes to the truth. Lokesh said that Jagan Mohan Reddy was not prepared to see the truth and is going with political vendetta.
He wanted the people to raise their voice against Jagan Mohan Reddy’s anarchic rule in the state for the last four-and-a-half years. He wanted the people to end Jagan’s rule in the state in the coming elections.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media at Rajamahendravaram, Lokesh alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy was influencing the institutions. He said that Jagan was on bail for ten years, which never happened in the country.
Similarly, those who killed Vivekananda Reddy were roaming around and the CBI could not arrest the accused. Similarly, they were influencing the institutions to keep Chandrababu Naidu in jail. He said that the Jagan Mohan Reddy government could not prove even a single charge against Chandrababu Naidu in the last 50 days.
“I am throwing an open challenge to the ruling party leaders. Show me a single charge against Chandrababu Naidu. What have you done in the last 50 days? What was the new evidence you have found,” Lokesh asked the ruling party leaders.
