He said that this is a violation of Articles 19 and 21 of the Fundamental Rights.
In the letter written to PM Modi, the former CM said that the people of Andhra Pradesh are facing serious problem under the rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy. In the letter, he also claimed that ever since Reddy came to power, there has been a systematic attack on democratic institutions in the state.
