TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Friday came down heavily on the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government for increasing atrocities against the Dalits in the state. He said that the atrocities started with Dr. Sudhakar are continuing even now.
He said a Dalit driver Subrahmanyam was killed and the body was door delivered. The man who killed Subrahmanyam was moving with Jagan Mohan Reddy, Lokesh said. He criticised the government for neglecting the protection of Dalits in the state.
He said a Dalit youth in Kanchikacherla of NTR district was tied-up for four hours and was beaten up. When the youth asked for drinking water, the accused gave him their urine, Lokesh said.
Lokesh wanted the state police to book cases against those who abducted the youth and harassed him. He wanted the police to arrest the persons responsible for the heinous act.
He also asked the AP SC Commission to respond to the incident. He wondered whether the SC commission was alive or sleeping. He asked the SC leaders in the ruling YSR Congress to respond to the incident and ensure that the accused are arrested and sent to jail.
Lokesh said that atrocities against the Dalits were increasing in the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. He alleged that the police were also turning blind eye to the atrocities against the Dalits.
