“Chandraiah has sacrificed his life for democracy. I won’t let his sacrifice go waste. Macherla is no one’s kingdom. In democracy, power is not permanent for anyone. CM Jaganmohan Reddy is encouraging politics of violence. He is offering posts to criminals and murderers. We will save our leaders and party workers from the clutches of violent leaders of YSRCP. CM Jagan should control his men and take steps to stop crimes and violence,” said Chandrababu in an emotional post on his Instagram wall.

Meanwhile, police are investigating the case. The police have booked cases against Chinta Sivaramaiah, Chinta Adinarayana, Thota Anjaneyulu and five others, Prasad said. Chinta sivaramaiah is a repeat offender. He was indulged in other murder cases as well.
