YS Jaganmohan Reddy has on Saturday stated at a public rally that Chandrababu Naidu is planning pre-poll violence out of desperation. "I have learned that he recently told his party men to be prepared for arson and large-scale violence in the State. We are going to witness violence in three days," Jagan claimed.

Jagan further said that Naidu seeks to blame YSRCP for the violence and get away with it.

He alleged that the AP CM masterminded the murder of his uncle, YS Vivekananda Reddy. "The reason why they got my Chinnanna eliminated is that they wanted to have a safe run in the Jammalamadugu constituency," Jagan thundered. "His (Naidu's) plan is to make unfair arrests so that his party won't have any competition left even in Pulivendula," Jagan alleged.
