The BJP leader also slammed Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy alleging that he indulges in "appeasement politics" to woo the voters of the minorities.

"Atmakur incident was a pre-planned ride. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy should be aware of the developments. The people of Andhra Pradesh are unhappy with you. These appeasement politics, only for minority voters. Stop this nonsense. Stop this injustice. Your MLA, Silpa Chakrapani Reddy is a conspirer. Your deputy CM Amzad Bhasha is a conspirer. Your Kurnool MLA Hafeez Khan is also a conspirer. Just to appease the minority vote bank in Rayalaseema and across the State... the YSRCP was doing it," the BJP leader alleged while addressing a public meeting in Kurnool of Andhra Pradesh on Saturday.
