Lok Satta Party (LSP), on Monday, condemned the brutal murder of TDP leader Chalasani Venkateswara Rao (Pandu) in Hyderabad last night, and demanded that the culprits be brought to book.
In a media statement, party leader Bandaru Rammohana Rao said that the traditional parties should assume responsibility for such incidents, since they aided and abetted criminalization of politics in their bid to capture power at any cost.
Without political parties' connivance, there would not be land grabbings and settlements and organized crime.
The situation is compounded by undue government interference in the day-to-day functioning of the police. The Lok Satta leader said that the situation could be remedied only by a return to ethical political leadership.
