There have been constant riots in the Konaseema area ever since the YSRCP government announced that the district would be named BR Ambedkar district. A lot of people were involved in these riots, and it is interesting to see that, of late, only those related to the YSRCP have been announced as not guilty, while the others still have active cases on their names.
It has been widely said that it was announced that the district would be named after BR Ambedkar a long time after the new names of the districts were announced, simply to deflect the people’s, and the media’s attention towards these riots, as opposed to the atrocity committed by a YSRCP MLC belonging to the area.
Now, with only the YSRCP members being declared innocent, it looks like the Andhra Pradesh government is taking a wrong step after a wrong step, which might result in the party’s demise, as there has not been a lot of peace under the party’s rule, in the state.
