Violation Of Law And Order Will Be Dealt With Seriously: Naidu

Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday made it clear on the floor of the Assembly that violation of law and order by anyone will not be tolerated and anyone making any attempt to bother women will be taken to task.

Informing the Assembly that the Shakti app is launched keeping in view solely the security of women in the State, he said that the previous government has miserably failed in maintenance of law and order following which people could not move out freely and there was no security for government properties. Naidu felt that maintenance of law and order is paramount for the people to be happy and move without any fear.

Expressing serious concern that due to gross negligence of the previous ruling party, the misuse of drugs and ganja was very rampant, the Chief Minister said that as a responsible Opposition party when the TDP raised this issue and took to agitational path, the party office was attacked. "Any political party treats its party office as a temple and in my 45-year-long political life I have never experienced any incident of attack on any party office," Naidu remarked. Clarifying that he always keeps himself away from political vendetta, he said that the previous government did not conduct even a review meeting on drugs and ganja. This matter was never discussed on the floor of the Assembly too by the previous government, he said.

Stating that the previous ruling party leaders stooped so low for political gains, the Chief Minister said that women were personally insulted by posting highly objectionable comments on social media. They even mocked democracy with vulgarities inside and outside the Assembly, he remarked and made it clear that all such issues will be completely checked. There is no room for using vulgar language on the floor of the Assembly and only meaningful debates should be allowed inside the House.

Naidu also felt the need for expanding religious harmony along with curbing extremism. "I have not only sent a message but also implemented it that words like 'rowdy' and 'gang leader' should not be heard any longer," he said. The Chief Minister announced that a new legislation is being introduced under the Prohibition of Land Grabbing and said that the land grabbing was very heavy by the previous rulers misusing Section 22A of the Registration Act.

If anyone resorts to land grabbing stringent action will be taken against such persons, he said and stated that drone patrolling will be taken up during nights besides

installing CC cameras.

Also, 26 cyber security stations are being set up and all this will help closely monitor those who resort to any kind of crime and take them into custody immediately, the

Chief Minister said.
