Narasaraopet, June 5: Former Narasaraopet MLA Gopireddy Srinivasa Reddy strongly condemned the arrest of former MLA and YSRCP leader Bolla Brahma Naidu, describing it as an act of political vendetta and an attempt to target a victim rather than the actual wrongdoers.

He stated that the alleged land transaction now being cited against Brahma Naidu was, in fact, exposed by individuals associated with him. According to Gopireddy, Brahma Naidu had no direct role in the agreement under question. The agreement was entered into by his relative, Ramesh, who relied on representations made by real estate brokers. The agreement itself was executed entirely in Ramesh’s name, with no involvement of Brahma Naidu.

Gopireddy explained that when the promised land registration failed to materialize despite repeated follow-ups, suspicions arose and the matter was brought to the attention of government authorities. Subsequent inquiries reportedly revealed that attempts had been made to facilitate the transaction using forged government orders. He emphasized that Ramesh was the person who suffered financial loss in the episode and was the victim of the alleged fraud.

Despite this, Brahma Naidu has been implicated and arrested, even though his role was limited to extending financial assistance to his relative, Gopireddy said. He maintained that there was no basis for treating Brahma Naidu as an accused and argued that the arrest was driven by political considerations rather than facts.

Gopireddy further remarked that the developments suggest a coordinated effort to pursue political opponents across state boundaries. He asserted that Brahma Naidu neither had any reason nor any need to engage in unlawful activities and described the arrest as a grave misuse of power motivated by political hostility.

The former MLA demanded that the authorities act impartially, identify those actually responsible for the alleged fraud, and end what he termed the politically motivated targeting of opposition leaders.
