The state police on Saturday ruled out any plot behind the desecration
of B.R. Ambedkar's statue, stating that the offence was committed by
the three youths in an intoxicated condition.
However, there is no explanation from the police on the series of
incidents of statues of other leaders being damaged across the state.
The state intelligence suspects that the desecrations may be an
attempt to ignite a caste war in the state and divide the people of
two communities.
After the Ambedkar statues, statues of former chief ministers N.T.
Rama Rao and Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, on Saturday reports came of
freedom fighter and educationist Acharya N.G, Ranga and Cong-ress
leader Vangaveeti Mohan Ranga's statues being damaged in coastal and
Ranga Reddy district .
A senior police official said, "It all started after Telugu Desam
president N. Chandrababu Naidu's remarks that he will pull down former
chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy's statues if the TD comes back to
power as some of the statues were blocking free movement of traffic.
Even the verbal war between Congress leader K. Chiranjeevi and actor
N. Balakrishna led to a flare up of emotions between the people."
