Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh) [India], February 12 (ANI): Leaders of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) from Kotha Narikelapalli (KN Palli) in the Vemuru constituency met with former Chief Minister and YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the party's central office on Wednesday. During the meeting, they reportedly detailed a series of alleged violent attacks and intimidation by TDP groups in their village.

They claimed that TDP mobs barged into their houses at midnight, broke doors, vandalised property and looted gold and cash, creating fear among YSRCP supporters. Vemuru YSRCP in-charge Varikuti Ashok Babu informed YS Jagan that, allegedly, a TDP-linked rowdy-sheeter, Balakoti Reddy, along with his associates, attacked the house of BC leader and sarpanch Angirekula Nageswara Rao and has been repeatedly targeting YSRCP sympathisers with weapons.

Victims of the alleged attack claimed that despite police picketing in the village, they were not being protected and that even after approaching the Bapatla Collector, their families still face threats to their lives, forcing them to live in constant fear. They also claimed that some families, having lost faith in the TDP government, even sought permission at the Collector's office to end their lives due to insecurity.

Responding to them, YS Jagan assured them that no YSRCP cadre should fear or feel anxious, and that the party would stand firmly with them. He called on party workers to face the attacks and excesses of TDP groups and said the party's legal cell would extend all necessary legal support.
