Fact Sheet: Naidu Is No Panneerselvam!

Fact Sheet: Naidu Is No Panneerselvam!

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu seems to have decided to prove that he is no weak politician like his Tamil Nadu counterpart Panner Selvam.

Having seen the kind of violence protests of Tamils at Marina beach in Chennai demanding permission for Jallikattu, Naidu has given firm instructions to his police not to allow any kind of rallies at R K Beach in Visakhapatnam on January 26, demanding special category status for Andhra Pradesh, as called by the Opposition parties.

Within no time, Director General of Police Nanduri Sambasiva Rao called for a press conference and declared that no permission would be given to any rally on the Vizag beach.

“Prior permission is needed from the police well in advance to organise for any mass congregations. There is a specific format to seek the police permission. First of all, we do not know who is organising the rally. Let them come to us and apply for permission. Depending on the situation, we shall decide,” Rao said.

He made it clear that there is no question of allowing any rally based on social media calls.

“Who will be responsible if there is any incident on the beach or any violence in the rally? The organisers have to give it in writing stating that they would be responsible for any eventuality. So far, there is no such application,” he said.

And in the end, the DGP said even if somebody applies for the permission now, it would not be possible to give permission at such a short notice since it required deployment of massive police forces.
