TDP seeks restoration of security to its leaders
A delegation of Telugu Desam Party met the chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy here on Wednesday and urged him to restore full security to some of the party leaders.
The state government recently scaled down security of Warangal MP E Dayakar Rao and Assembly deputy floor leader N Janardhan Reddy.
The TDP leaders led by MLA D Narendra drew the attention of the chief minister to the curtailment of security to Dayakar Rao Janardhan Reddy. The delegation said that the two leaders continued to face threat from Maoists. The CM is said to have assured them that he would get the matter examined.
Later talking to the media, Narendra said the Congress was worried over the response Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu was getting for his ‘Mee Kosam yatra’ and hence it decided to curtail the free movement of party leaders in the run up to the polls.
He said when the government made a similar move in the past, TDP had requested the assembly speaker to intervene and see that the security was not reduced. The speaker had assured the party that there would be no reduction.
But still the government resorted to ‘intimidatory’ tactics, he said.
It may be mentioned here that soon after scaling down the security cover, home minister K Jana Reddy told the media that government would reexamine the issue if a representation was made to it by the affected people. He said the decision to cut down on the security was taken after a report submitted by the committee that periodically reviews the threat perception to different leaders.
