The ruling YCP is hitting back strongly and recalling past incidents whenever TDP is talking about the attacks on its cadres. Former Minister Lokesh’s tweet on the YCP attacks has drawn flak from none other than AP Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharitha herself. She is recalling how the YCP leaders and cadres were harassed and attacked during the previous regime. Especially, MLA Roja was not allowed to enter the Assembly for no fault of hers.

Sucharita said that there was no action though a woman officer was slapped in the face during TDP regime. But now the opposition leaders are asking for explanations. The Minister also recalled the Kodi Kathi incident and said that the then government turned the blame on Jaganmohan Reddy though he was the victim in that case.

The Home Minister has said that more YCP activists were injured in the clashes that took place in the state recently. She said that only 44 TDP activists suffered injuries as against 57 activists of YCP. The ruling party ministers and leaders are continuing their counter attacks on TDP with greater force ever since the election result.
