Houses under attack, law and order collapsed in AP

Kadapa, Feb 2: YSR Congress Party official spokesperson Rachamallu Siva Prasad Reddy criticised that Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a dangerous rise in political violence, with houses being attacked and even targeted with petrol bombs, creating fear among families. He said TDP activists are allegedly entering homes and intimidating women and children, all while police remain passive. According to him, attacks on YSRCP leaders’ residences are happening without any meaningful police intervention, and even the intrusion into former minister Ambati Rambabu’s house was watched live without action. He stated that some sections of the police were acting under political pressure from Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. He further claimed that since Lokesh took on greater political responsibility, “Red Book rule” has turned into “bloodshed,” that political leaders and their properties now lack security in the state. Referring to the Tirumala laddu controversy, he said Naidu had falsely alleged the presence of animal fat, while a CBI-linked report found no adulteration. He also recalled past speeches where Naidu and Pawan Kalyan used harsh language against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and YSRCP leaders. Rachamallu urged the public to question both TDP leaders and the police over their conduct, warning that continued inaction would further erode public safety and democratic norms.
