YSR Congress Party leader and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is set to visit Guntur tomorrow, February 4, Wednesday, in response to recent political violence in the area. The visit comes after a disturbing incident involving a senior leader and former minister, Ambati Rambabu, who was targeted by alleged TDP goons at his residence, raising fears among his family and supporters.
Ambati Rambabu, who also serves as the district party president, was reportedly attacked by a group of TDP supporters who attempted to harm him and his family. This incident appears to be linked to heightened political tensions in Guntur, particularly surrounding the controversial Tirupati laddu campaign, which has sparked a wave of misinformation and hostility from rival parties. The attack on Ambati’s home was a culmination of escalating verbal confrontations that had been brewing for some time.
In a related incident, police arrested Ambati Rambabu shortly after the attack, alleging that he used offensive language against the Chief Minister, leading to a 14-day remand order from a magistrate, which resulted in his transfer to Rajahmundry jail. This rapid sequence of events has prompted widespread criticism of Chandrababu Naidu’s government across the state, with many asserting that the attack on Ambati and his family was an attempt on their lives rather than a mere assault.
The situation has not only affected Ambati and his family but has also led to further violence, including a petrol bomb attack at the residence of another former minister, Jogi Ramesh. In light of these troubling developments, Y.S. Jagan has decided to visit the affected families to offer support and encouragement. During his visit, he will meet with Ambati Rambabu’s family, assess the damage at the site of the attack, and gather details from the family members about the horrifying experience.
Additionally, Jagan plans to visit Jogi Ramesh’s family on Friday to extend his sympathies and solidarity. He has previously communicated with other party leaders, including Vidudala Rajini and Bolla Brahmanayudu, who have also been victims of violence from TDP’s alleged goons, offering them words of encouragement and support during this difficult time.
This series of violent incidents has raised alarms about the safety of political leaders in the region and underscored the volatile political atmosphere in Andhra Pradesh. As Y.S. Jagan prepares for his visit, many are eager to see how he addresses these issues and what measures, if any, will be taken to ensure the safety of party members and their families in the future.
