Put down violence with an iron hand: Dr. JP

Loksatta Party national President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan today asked the administrative machinery to ruthlessly put down violence engineered under the pretext of religion or some other cause.

In a media statement, Dr. JP appealed to people to maintain restraint and not be swayed by emotions in the context of the clashes between two religious groups in Kishenbagh, Hyderabad. They should, instead, cooperate with officials in restoring peace.

In the context of the State’s bifurcation and the need to ensure a bright future for all Telugu people, all parties and sections should strive to maintain peace in Hyderabad.

CPI leader betraying political Bankruptcy: Loksatta

The Loksatta Party today charged CPI leader K. Narayana with reducing politics to buffoonery by indulging in indecent remarks against everyone.

In a media statement, State Loksatta Party President Katari Srinivasa Rao said that Mr. Narayana stooped to make unwarranted comments against Loksatta Party national President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan. Either he has not recovered from the stress and strain of campaigning in scorching heat or is seized by a fear of defeat in the election to the Lok Sabha from Khammam, Katari said.

Katari recalled that the Loksatta has decided to support the NDA in the general elections to the Lok Sabha keeping mind the critical situation the country as also the two emerging Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States are facing and its commitment to promote economic development, create jobs, provide good governance and preserve the country’s unity. Since the Loksatta is not in a position to form a Government on its own, it has chosen to contest only from Malkajgiri to the Lok Sabha by utilizing its limited resources.

Mr. Narayana should refrain from abusing others with an eye on headlines in media. His baseless allegations against a party which pursues rational, transparent and democratic politics merely reflect his political bankruptcy. Mr. Narayana should, instead, cultivate the courage to accept ground realities and correct flaws in his outdated thinking.
