Such kind of politics should not be allowed. The chief minister must take stringent action against his party workers. BJP condemns these attacks”, he said while speaking to ANI in Hyderabad. He also claimed that even the state police is not making efforts to stop these attacks in the state. “Police is also not providing security and protection to the Opposition party leaders. Both the police and YSR Congress are acting as a hand in glove. Peace and harmony have been affected. This also sends out a wrong signal to investors and also makes the living conditions of the residents miserable”, he further stated.
