Youth wing demands legal action, calls statements provocative and divisive

GUNTUR: Leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) lodged a formal complaint at the district police office here on Saturday, condemning remarks made by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge against the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during election campaigning in Assam.

The complaint was submitted to Special Branch DSP Alahari Srinivas under the directions of BJYM State president Sunil Reddy and on the instructions of BJP district president Cherukuri Tirupathi Rao. The delegation was led by BJYM district president Tunga Yashwanth and State Vice-President Kayithi Pradeep Reddy.

Addressing mediapersons on the occasion, Mr. Cherukuri Tirupathi Rao said that at a time when the BJP was working towards inclusive development under the principle of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', remarks that sought to inflame tensions between Hindu and Muslim communities were deeply irresponsible. He demanded that the authorities take immediate action in the matter.

Mr. Tunga Yashwanth said it was deeply distressing that allegations were being levelled against the RSS, an organisation that he said had consistently worked to foster national unity and patriotism. He recalled the relief and rehabilitation work carried out by RSS volunteers during natural disasters, and stated that remarks aimed at sowing discord in society were entirely unacceptable. He urged the police to initiate legal proceedings against those responsible.

The complaint was also signed by BJYM State Social Media Co-Convener Srinivas, district leaders Kochherla Durga, Gana, Anand, Radhakrishna, and Swapna, OBC Morcha State Secretary Charaka Kumar Goud, BJP district General Secretary Bajrang Ramakrishna, district Vice-President Ravuri Lakshminarayana Sharma, and leaders Srinu Naik, Abraham, and Kamepalli Venkateswarlu, among others.

Fresh team to focus on strengthening party at grassroots level

GUNTUR: The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) announced its newly constituted Guntur district committee at a function held at the BJP district office, Vajpayee Bhavan, here on Sunday. The committee was announced by BJYM district president Tunga Yashwanth under the aegis of BJP district president Cherukuri Tirupathi Rao.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Cherukuri Tirupathi Rao underscored the pivotal role of the youth wing in strengthening the party organisation. He called upon the young members to extend the party's reach to the village level and work towards consolidating it at the grassroots.

BJP Parliament Sanyojak Bhimineni Chandrashekhar described the BJYM as the backbone of the party. He observed that those who had served in the youth wing had gone on to shoulder greater responsibilities within the organisation, and urged every member to discharge their duties diligently in the interest of the party's growth.

The new district committee comprises six Vice-Presidents — Kochherla Durga, Chilaka Balakotaiah Goud, Chilakapatla Lakshman Ramacharya, Meduru Yashwanth, Chevuri Anand, and Sunkara Bhanuchandar. Bhanu Prakash Sharma was named General Secretary, while Bayyapu Raja, Gana, Arudra Gopi, Akash, Manideep, and Sai Radhakrishna were appointed as Secretaries. Battula Naga Swapna was named Treasurer of the new committee.
