Former Chief Minister YS Jagan letter to the Prime Minister

 Shri @narendramodi Ji, 

I am writing to bring to your kind attention the grisly state of affairs prevailing in the state of Andhra Pradesh and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. 

It pains me to appraise your good selves of the disturbing law and order situation in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Constitutional institutions have failed, and the administration has been paralysed. There is no protection to life, limb and ad dignity of the people. Leaders and workers of the ruling party, with their barbaric and inhumane activities, are spreading widespread fear among the people of the state. 

After coming to power, the TDP led coalition government immediately targeted those who didn't support them in the recently concluded elections. They have targeted the known sympathisers of our party and started terrorising them by humiliating, beating and even killing them. In this process, they have destroyed the properties, establishments, including residential houses in the open glare, causing widespread fear among people in the state. 

In addition to personal attacks and vandalism, they have caused severe damage to government properties. They did not spare even the Village Secretariats, RBKs, and Village Clinics that provide essential services to the people, just because these institutions were established by the YSRCP Government, they destroyed these buildings solely for this reason. They have also vandalised the statues of late Dr. Y.S. Rajashekhar Reddy, former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, that were installed following due process of Law. 

Taking their barbaric acts to its peak, on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, a YSRCP activist Rashid was brutally hacked to death in Vinukonda. This incident happened in the middle of a busy street, and surprisingly the police were at close proximity when it happened.  

Even YSRCP elected representatives to parliament and the state assembly, as well as candidates who contested the elections, have no protection. On Thursday, in Punganur, Chittoor district, TDP mobs attempted to murder our party's Lok Sabha floor leader, MP @MithunReddyYSRC, who had gone to meet former MP N.Reddeppa. This attack happened in the presence of the police, indicating a severe deterioration in the state's ability to protect its citizens. This is the classic example of the apathy of police towards law-and-order issues and with this attitude of the police, TDP goons are emboldened to perpetuate these barbaric and inhuman acts as if they were permitted to do so.  

There are no signs of a democratic government anywhere in the state. The constitution, the law, and the police system are all non-functional. For the past 40-45 days, the state has been governed under a de facto "Red Book" constitution, effectively handing over the control to political goons, rapists, and those who commit atrocities against children.

In the last five years, Andhra Pradesh was known for good education, healthcare, farmer security, empowerment of women, robust law and order, and sustainable development. Today, it is synonymous with murders, rapes, political vendettas, and destruction. Anarchy has become order of the day in the state instead of governance. 

In just one month of the new government, 31 people have been murdered, 300 murder attempts have been made, 35 people have committed suicide due to TDP harassment, 560 private properties have been destroyed, 490 government properties have been vandalized, and nearly 2,700 families have left their villages due to these atrocities. Additionally, there have been over 1,050 incidents of violence and attacks. This reflects the state of affairs in our state under the present dispensation, who are not at all inclined to maintain law and order.
