Jagan to meet Governor over alleged attacks on YSRCP rallies

YSRCP president Jagan is to meet the Governor over alleged attacks on party workers during rallies demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into DSC recruitment, The Hindu reports. Jagan alleged that groups were sent to attack the YSRCP workers by Chief Minister Naidu and Minister Lokesh. The supplied report does not provide details of the alleged incidents, including when or where they took place, how many people were involved or whether anyone was injured.

He also alleged that police booked the victims instead of registering cases against those accused of carrying out the attacks. The report does not specify the charges filed, the police stations involved or whether any investigation has been announced. The planned meeting with the Governor is intended to raise the party’s allegations at the state’s constitutional office.

Jagan is also seeking cases against Naidu and Lokesh, according to the report. The protests concern a demand for a CBI probe into recruitment to the DSC. The supplied material does not explain the allegations surrounding the recruitment process or state what prompted the call for an investigation by the central agency.

The claims are attributed to Jagan and were not accompanied in the supplied material by responses from Naidu, Lokesh, the police or the Governor’s office. The report therefore provides no independent confirmation of the alleged attacks, the police action or the accusations against the two leaders. Jagan’s proposed meeting is the next stated step in the dispute.
