New Delhi, October 26: A week after the ruling party's workers attacked Telugu Desam Party (TDP) offices across the state, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, met President Ramnath Kovind and asked him to force President's rule in the state. Chandrababu Naidu also urged for a CBI inquiry into the unprecedented attack on TDP offices across the state.
During the meeting, the TDP President along with his party MPs and leaders submitted a detailed memorandum to President Kovind on the rising surpluses of the AP government and the police in the past two and a half years.
Speaking to the media TDP Cheif said, "In the history of Andhra Pradesh & India, no political party attacked another party's office. Andhra DGP is colluding with CM & they operated all this. We demanded the President for President Rule in the state & for CBI inquiry to punish culprits."
"We have clearly told the President how Andhra Pradesh has turned into a 'dangerous state'. Maniacal rule is going on there. If Article 356 is not invoked now, the Andhra Pradesh mafia gangs would get emboldened and spread their activities to other states. Then there will be a serious threat to national security and national integration," Chandrababu Naidu said.
The TDP chief further urged the President and Centre to order a full-fledged investigation into the AP links with the drug mafia to reveal the truth."Wherever ganja was being seized in the country, it was being linked to the AP mafia. The police of Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and other States have blamed AP gangs for smuggling drugs," Naidu lamented.

Chandrababu Naidu said that President Kovind promised to look into the matter after he was made aware of "total deterioration of law and order, breakdown of constitutional machinery, and uncontrolled drug gangs in AP".
Naidu`s Delhi visit comes days after he demanded the intervention of the central government in the matter of alleged attack on his party offices. The attack was allegedly in protest of the TDP spokesperson's remarks against Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
