YSRCP Won't Be Cowed Down by Cases, Says Chandrasekhar
Imagine a person who speaks up for the people of a city called Nellore in India.
His name is Mr. Chandrasekhar Reddy, and he belongs to a political party called YSRCP.
He says that cases are being filed to scare him and his party, but they will keep speaking up anyway.
He says the government is not using public money properly and is giving city contracts in a way that may not be fair.
He does not want a piece of government canal land to be given to a private college group.
He also says poor families are being told their houses might be torn down, which makes them worried.
He says some government schools are not being taken care of and clean drinking water is not available.
There is a song called Govinda Namalu that some people said hurt their religion, but he says that was not his intention.
He promised to apologise if anyone's feelings were hurt, but he still thinks the case against him is not fair.
He says his party will keep fighting for what they believe is right.
YSRCP Nellore city in-charge and MLC Parvatha Reddy Chandrasekhar Reddy said the party will keep raising public issues despite the threat of 'politically motivated cases'.
He accused the alliance government of misusing public funds and encouraging corruption in the Nellore municipal corporation through contracts for garbage collection and sweeping.
He opposed the reported proposal to hand over 1.40 acres of government irrigation canal land near Narayana Medical College to Narayana educational institutions.
He criticised demolition notices issued to poor families in Gandhi Girijana Colony, Venkateswarapuram, and alleged government schools were neglected and drinking-water systems were not functioning.
On the Govinda Namalu song controversy, he denied insulting Hinduism or Hindu deities, called the case against him a political conspiracy, and said he would apologise if anyone's sentiments were hurt.
