Says no political leader or party in the country indulges in such violent behaviour, and encouraging this kind of culture is highly dangerous
CHIEF Minister N Chandrababu Naidu took strong exception to the attitude of YSRCP president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the tours of the latter intended to promote rowdyism and violence in the State.
Referring to Jagan's use of the phrase "rappa rappa narakadam" (slaughter) from film dialogues, Naidu questioned whether this meant he would kill people in real life too.
He slammed Jagan's psychological outlook, stating, "His condolence tours are instigating rowdyism and violence. He has violated all police permissions for his tours, held gatherings in narrow alleys leading to stampedes, encouraged violence, and blamed police."
Speaking to mediapersons at the State Secretariat on Thursday, the Chief Minister further pointed out that displaying placards with slogans like "Hit them, kill them" and celebrating it was dangerous.
