YS Sharmila requests intervention of Governor in attack on party activists

YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) president Y S Sharmila on Thursday requested Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan’s intervention in the recent alleged attack on her party activists during her ongoing ‘padayatra,’ and urged the Governor to ask for a report from the State government.

Sharmila, who met Soundararajan at Raj Bhavan with her party leaders, claimed that the ruling TRS was behind the “attack” near Warangal on Monday.

“For a year and covering 3,500 km across the State, our ‘padayatra’ has been drawing immense response and participation from the people. This sure has not gone well with the TRS government and they have been planning these attacks to lower our morale and keep us away from the people,” Sharmila stated in a memorandum submitted to the Governor.

Sharmila alleged that the attack was carried out with sticks and stones and that disgusting words were hurled at YSRTP workers.

She claimed that the police detained and transported her to Hyderabad, but that the attackers were released. She also claimed that she was obstructed on her way to the Chief Minister’s camp office-cum-official residence the next day to show him the bus that had been “set on fire.”

She claimed that her car had been lifted with a crane while she was still inside.

“Madam, I now see a possible threat to the lives of our committed party workers, and continued attacks on our padayatra. Besides, there will be a spurt in the derogatory rhetoric against us. I, therefore, draw your immediate attention and intervention towards this,” she said.

She urged the Governor to request a report on the attack from the Home Ministry and the DGP’s office. She said that this will help “salvage democracy” in the state. Responding to Sharmila’s criticism of the State government, ruling TRS leaders condemned her alleged remarks against the Chief Minister and other party leaders on Wednesday.

Some party leaders claimed that the BJP was behind her.
