Tadipatri Chairman's Protest Targets YSRC Leaders' Homes
A local leader named J.C. Prabhakar Reddy in the town of Tadipatri is very upset.
He says unfair charges were made against his family by other leaders and officials.
The charges are about cars being registered with the wrong pollution labels in 2020.
A court has asked him and his family to come on Monday because a trial is starting.
Reddy thinks the charges were made just to bother his family when another political group was in charge.
So he plans to go to the houses of those leaders and give them stacks of documents.
He wants to show them papers that he says prove the charges are not fair.
The police are worried there could be trouble, so they are guarding the leaders' homes.
Everyone is hoping the protest stays calm and nothing bad happens.
Tadipatri municipal chairman J.C. Prabhakar Reddy announced plans to visit YSRC leaders' homes on Monday to protest alleged false cases against his family.
The cases relate to the alleged registration of BS-IV vehicles as BS-VI vehicles in 2020.
The Anantapur court has summoned Reddy, his MLA son Asmith Reddy, and other accused to appear on Monday as trial proceedings begin.
Reddy claims YSRC leaders pressured the then deputy transport commissioner to file multiple cases over the same allegations.
Police have stepped up security at the residences of YSRC leaders in Anantapur district to prevent any untoward incident.
