Scaling down security cover is an act of ‘political vengeance’, says dissident YSRCP MLA Kotamreddy

The Hindu  

Dissident YSR Congress Party Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy has described the scaling down of his security by the government as ‘political vendetta’. Addressing the media here on February 5, Mr. Sridhar Reddy said that instead of stepping up security in the wake of the audio and video calls handing out threats to him after he alleged tapping of his phone at the behest of the YSRCP government, his security cover had been scaled down. “I am perplexed as to why is the YSRCP, which is confident of winning all 175 Assembly seats in 2024, resorting to revenge politics and targeting an MLA, who has decided to part ways with the party,” said Mr. Sridhar Reddy. “I was among a select group of opposition party MLAs who had refused security cover offer from the erstwhile Telugu Desam Party government and had discharged my duties fearlessly,” Mr. Sridhar Reddy added.
