Anantapur: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) chief N. Raghuveera Reddy lashed out at Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for hurting the sentiments and selfrespect of Rayalaseema people by repeatedly abusing like Rayalaseema rowdies at every incident.
He accused Naidu for being a "Rayalaseema Drohi" who failed to get special packages and people would drag Naidu and his party leaders on to roads over the massive failure to clear assured sops in the election manifesto.
"This was the first government that lost faith within a short span of two years for not implementing assured projects and schemes in history," Mr Reddy alleged and further added that the BJP-led NDA government had also utterly failed in all aspects.
"Both BJP and TD were helpless. Naidu, who failed to implement sops such as waiver in crop loans and Self-Help Group (SHG) women's loans and they were frustrated," he said.
Speaking to the media at Hindupur in the district on Thursday, the APCC chief observed that the crime rate was rising at an alarming rate soon after TD voted to power in the state. The government itself was encouraging violence on all the occasions and blaming others.
Comparing that law and order was under control during the 10-year rule of Congress, Mr Raghuveera reddy said the situation was worse within a couple of years during the TD regime.
APCC chief demanded that the state government release a white paper on crime rate in the state.
