BJP party workers today met the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor E S L Narasimhan here seeking action against actor-politician Nandamuri Balakrishna, MLA, for his "derogatory" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Visakhapatnam North MLA P Vishnu Kumar Raju and MLC P V N Madhav submitted a memorandum to the governor and sought appropriate action against Balakrishna for his "unparliamentary language" against Modi during Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' yesterday.
Raju and Madhav told reporters that Balakrishna, Hindupur MLA, should be arrested for his "derogatory" remarks against the Prime Minister.
Besides dismissing the actor from his MLA post, the Chief Minister should also arrest him for making derogatory remarks while holding a public office, they said.
Hitting out at Naidu, the BJP leaders said Naidu was also culpable as he did not intervene immediately and restrain the actor from making derogatory remarks against Modi.
They termed the Dharma Porata Dheeksha as "Adharma protest."
