TDP Polit Bureau member Varla Ramaiah has demanded that Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy (sitting MLA of Macherla) and his brother Venkatarami Reddy, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy (sitting MLA, Chandragiri) and his son Mohit Reddy, and Kethireddy Pedda Reddy (MLA, Tadipatri) be arrested immediately for stoking violence on May 13 (polling day).
Addressing the media here on May 18 (Saturday), Mr. Ramaiah also insisted that the call data records of some top police officers be examined, keeping in view the suspicion that they were a part of the conspiracy to create unrest, and, thereby, enable the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to win the elections.
Mr. Ramaiah said Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy and his brother fled from the State on being told to do so, and that TDP’s Chandragiri MLA candidate Pulivarthi Nani would not have survived the attack had his security personnel failed to raise an alarm.
