Chandranna Bloodshed Day

AMARAVATI: YSRCP MP V Vijaysai Reddy launched a Twitter tirade against TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu over the infamous Basheerbagh police firing under the latter’s rule, exactly 20 years ago. In the year 2000 on this day, August 28th, three protesters were killed while several others sustained grievous injuries in the widely-condemned police firing ordered by the then chief minister Chandrababu Naidu.

Remembering the loss of lives and recalling one of the most tumultuous political agitations in the history of erstwhile unified Andhra Pradesh, the Rajya Sabha Member of the YSRCP trained his guns on the man responsible for it. He came up with a tweet to castigate the TDP chief in his own inimitable style. The translation of his Telugu tweet goes like this:

“After completing 25 years as a betrayer and observing ‘Backstabbing Day’ on August 25th, Babu (Chandrababu Naidu) is celebrating ‘Chandranna Bloodshed Day’ on August 28th. The mayhem unleashed by Babu (Naidu) at Basheerbagh completes 20 years today. Babu, history is a witness to how cruel and destructive you are.”
