అధర్మాన్ని ధర్మం, చీకటిని వెలుగు, చెడును మంచి ఎప్పుడూ జయిస్తాయని చాటిచెప్పే పండుగ విజయదశమి. ఆ కనకదుర్గమ్మ ఆశీస్సులతో ప్రజల కష్టాలు దూరమై, జీవితాల్లో సంతోషాలు వెల్లివిరియాలని, మనందరినీ అమ్మవారు చల్లగా చూడాలని మనస్ఫూర్తిగా కోరుకుంటూ తెలుగు ప్రజలందరికీ దసరా పండుగ శుభాకాంక్షలు.

The Constitution has collapsed in Andhra Pradesh. Democracy is being murdered in broad daylight. For the second consecutive day of nominations for the local body elections, @ncbn Garu has allowed law and order to break down completely. He has given his party’s mobs a free hand and is using the police to protect them. Once again, he has shown his record of political violence and is running a jungle raj in the state. The situation has become so bad that opposition candidates cannot even file their nominations. YSRCP candidates are being chased with knives and sticks in front of the police and within the nomination centres. Centres are being surrounded, and people are entering Returning Officers’ offices to snatch and tear nomination papers. Candidates are being picked up by the police in the middle of the night. This is Chandrababu’s version of democracy. He is using the power of office to encourage violence and make the elections one-sided. Worse still, our MPs who went to support candidates as proposers were not spared. Nomination papers were snatched from their hands and torn. Three MPs were attacked in the presence of the police, and by the police themselves. If MPs are not safe in this state, what protection can ordinary people expect? The incidents across the state, including in Kadapa, Pulivendula, Kamalapuram, Jammalamadugu, Rajampet, Rayachoti, Punganur, Tirupati, Darsi, Dachepalli and Gurazala, show how badly democracy has been undermined under Chandrababu’s rule. The police firing in Pulivendula was a bullet fired at democracy. Chandrababu was undoubtedly behind this conspiracy. Why did the police attack and beat candidates and proposers who had come to file nominations? Why did they open fire? Chandrababu, is stopping candidates from filing nominations an election? Is having opposition candidates picked up by the police democracy? Is ordering attacks on MPs constitutional governance? The Central Government must intervene immediately. With constitutional institutions being weakened and democratic rights being crushed, I demand President’s Rule in Andhra Pradesh. What else can we expect from this backstabbing party, which deceived people with the Super Six and Super Seven promises, even giving them bonds?
