YSRCP urges SP to follow HC orders allowing Tadipatri former MLA to visit his home

A delegation of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders met Anantapur Superintendent of Police P. Jagadeesh and sought implementation of High Court orders which permitted former MLA Kethireddy Pedda Reddy to visit his residence in Tadipatri.

Led by Anantapur district president Ananta Venkatarami Reddy, Mr. Pedda Reddy and others, the delegation submitted a representation to the SP on Monday (June 30), a day after police forcibly shifted the former MLA to Anantapur from his residence in Tadipatri. Speaking after meeting the SP, Mr. Venkatarami Reddy said the YSRCP has taken up a program ‘Recalling Chandrababu Manifesto’ in every Assembly constituency to expose the failure of the NDA government to implement its pre-poll promises. “We want to take up the programme in Tadipatri also and the police should allow us to do it,” he said.

Mr. Venkatarami Reddy said the government is resorting to vindictive politics and anarchy is prevailing in Tadipatri. “If there are any restrictions on Mr. Pedda Reddy visiting Tadipatri, the police should give it in writing,” he demanded.

Mr. Pedda Reddy said the High Court has issued orders to provide necessary security for his visit to Tadipatri two months back but the same were not being implemented. “Though Tadipatri Municipal chairperson Prabhakar Reddy is issuing warnings and making provocative statements and attacking my supporters, the police are not taking any action against the TDP leaders,” he said. Mr. Pedda Reddy further said that there used to be a peaceful atmosphere in Tadipatri while he was an MLA.
