Vijayawada: Lambasting Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for the attack on BJP president Amit Shah, BJP MLC Somu Veerraju demanded that he apologise to Shah for the incident.
Speaking to the media at a press meet held here, Mr Veerraju also demanded the resignation of Home Minister China Rajappa, whom he blamed for the incident, and the suspension of Urban SP of Tirupati. He remarked that Naidu had the culture of throwing shoes at late CM N.T. Rama Rao.
Mr Veerraju alleged that the police failed to react at the time of the attack, and questioned the TD chief for not suspending the accused and seeking an explanation from the Police Department. He also asked why the government has not registered a case against MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna for abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The MLC alleged that hero Sivaji and Chalasani Srinivas were encouraging the TD government. He also made remarks on AP NGOs flaring up a dispute, and mentioned that Telangana NGOs were intellectuals, who fought for their state and that AP NGOs asked for nothing during bifurcation. AP NGO Association president Ashok Babu was brought by the TD to campaign against the BJP in the Karnataka elections, he alleged.
Mr Veerraju also claimed the TD government failed to fulfil even 10 per cent of its promises, and asked why the government took a loan of '2 lakh crore and demanded the utilisation details.
