TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu demands CBI probe into Sneha Latha's murder
TDP national president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu
- Says there is no safety and respect for women under Jagan regime
- Alleges that Tadipatri attack on JC Diwakar Reddy is aimed at diverting attention from atrocities
Amaravati: TDP national president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday described the burning alive of Sneha Latha in Anantapur district as a ghastly incident that was more horrific than even the Nirbhaya and Disha atrocities in the country.
Blaming the YSRCP government's negligence for such atrocities, Naidu demanded an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to bring out the facts and to nab the culprits responsible for the girl's murder. Over 400 horrific attacks were committed on women, girls and even girlchildren in the state which needed to be probed by CBI.
Addressing a press conference here, the TDP chief asked why Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy did not go to Anantapur to initiate immediate action and to console the victimised family even though he was currently touring the neighbouring district of Kadapa.
Had Jagan responded and taken stern action against the culprits in the first two or three incidents, the law and order situation would not have slipped into this sorry state now. "Very strangely, Jagan was not opening his mouth on atrocities being committed on women. The Chief Minister spoke of how concerned about safety of girls since he too has daughters but he is not taking action against the perpetrators of atrocities," he said.
Stating that the Disha Act was a non-existent law, Naidu said that the Jagan Mohan Reddy regime was not even using the existing laws to punish the culprits. The YSRCP modus operandi was to encourage these anti-social elements and miscreants in order to use them only for its political ends. He said even the attack in Tadipatri on Thursday against TDP leader JC Diwakar Reddy's house was just a ploy to divert the attention of the public from the burning issue of Sneha Latha murder.
In Ongole, a disabled girl was burnt to death in her tricycle itself but the government and the police were terming it as a suicide. How can a disabled girl get petrol and set herself ablaze in her own tricycle, he asked adding that the Chief Minister was not caring to break his silence on such ghastly incidents.
