Reddy said the BJP was trying to instigate people by raising communal issues. The BJP has been making controversial statements about the demolition of the memorial for the last two weeks.

BJP leaders should not forget that they were in alliance with TDP from 1999 to 2004 and again from 2014 to 2019.

Manikyala Rao handled the Endowment Department at that time. If BJP was so keen why didn’t they change the name?

Explain that in view of the dispute over Jinnah Tower, a fence was put around it and its security has also been increased. Reddy said that the intention of those who attacked her was not known.

He had to be taken into custody, giving top priority to the safety of the people.

Subsequently, Vellampally Srinivasa Rao, a minister in the YSRCP government, said in a tweet that the parties that ruled the state between 2014-19 did not remember the Jinnah Tower in Guntur.

On the other hand, BJP National Secretary Sunil Deodhar, in a tweet targeting the state government, directly asked CM Jagan Mohan Reddy whether Guntur is a part of the Republic of India or not.

He also said that we are not in Pakistan. Shame on the state government which prevented Hindu Vahini workers from unfurling the national flag there on Republic Day.

BJP will not give up the fight to change the name of Jinnah Tower to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
