Andhra CM Naidu Declares Zero Tolerance for Unlawful Protests
A very important leader in India named Chandrababu Naidu is in charge of a big state called Andhra Pradesh.
He is also the boss of a political group called the Telugu Desam Party.
He said that people cannot hold noisy, unlawful protests that block roads and bother others.
He wants his party helpers to tell everyone about the good work the government is doing.
Some people from a rival group called YSRC are protesting about teacher jobs.
Naidu says these protests are not from real teacher hopefuls, and that the job selection was fair.
He promised that new projects in the capital city Amaravati will be opened very soon.
He also said big water dams like Srisailam will be full of water because of heavy rains.
That is good news for farmers who need water for their crops.
Some people agree with Naidu, but other people think the protesters should be allowed to complain.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu declared zero tolerance for unlawful protests that inconvenience the public.
He defended the Mega DSC teacher recruitment as conducted in a fool-proof manner with no irregularities.
Naidu, calling YSRC the 'Goddali (axe) Party,' said the agitations involve 'rowdies and ganja gangs' rather than genuine DSC aspirants.
He asked Telugu Desam cadre to counter opposition 'false propaganda' and raise the party's vote share in every booth.
Naidu said Srisailam reservoir will be full within two days and that Veligonda and USS project water will arrive by month-end.

Protests over teacher jobs imply genuine DSC aspirants are opposing the recruitment process, which is why Naidu felt the need to defend it.
