Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y. S. Sharmila has written a letter to the DGP asking him to increase her security from the existing 1+1 to 4+4 and provide her a police escort vehicle.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) incharge for AP Congress Manickam Tagore has tagged Ms. Sharmila’s letter to the DGP K.V. Rajendranath Reddy and also a statement posted on “X” by Congress Working Committee (CWC) member N. Raghuveera Reddy, expressing concern over her safety issue and has urged Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to direct the police department to do the needful in this regard. “Safety is a collective responsibility and politics must be kept away from the security of the daughter of ex CM YSR,” he said.
Mr. Raghuveera Reddy pointed out that Ms. Sharmila’s security was first reduced to 2+2 from 4+4 and now it had been further brought down to 1+1. He said he had observed tension building up at some places during her State-wide tour to address the party workers. He said in view of the election season and the prevailing political circumstances in the State, her security cover should be increased to 4+4 and she should be provided an escort vehicle.
