“Ever since the YSRCP came to power, five murders have taken place in the temple town of Tirupati. A centre of devotional fervour has now turned into a place of political vengeance and murders,” said Mr. Naidu.

“A peaceful city like Tirupati is being converted into a seat of faction violence by the YSRCP leaders. The murder of Bharat Yadav is yet another indication of the total collapse of the law and order situation in the State. The culprits of this murder should be brought to book,” he added.
