Vijayawada, March 6 : At a time when the TDP supremo N.Chandrababu Naidu is busy in campaigning for the urban local body elections in North Andhra Pradesh, internal fissures among the party leaders have come to the fore in Vijayawada.
Senior TDP leaders Bonda Umamaheshwar Rao, Nagul Mira and Budda Venkanna expressed displeasure over the Vijayawada MP Kesineni Nani s alleged way of dealing with the party members in a joint press conference.
Protests to continue in Vizianagaram today
The Telugu Desam Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and the Jana Sena Party have sought a high-level inquiry and immediate arrest of culprits who allegedly vandalised an idol of Lord Rama in historic temple located on Ramateertham hill of Nellimarla mandal in Vizianagaram district.
Telugu Desam Party regional coordinator Budda Venkanna alleged that there was no protection even for idols and temples in the State. He charged the government with failing to control such incidents.
BJP State executive member Nadukuditi Eswara Rao and other leaders alleged that the government had taken up the issue very lightly although the incident had hurt the sentiments of followers of Hindu religion. “When new temple of Lord Rama is being constructed in Ayodhya, the destruction of temples is taking place in Andhra Pradesh. The protests will continue on Thursday at Vizinaagaram Collector’s office,” said Mr. Eswara Rao.
