A political fight is happening in Nellore over claims of illegal mining.
YSRCP leaders say MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy was involved in losses of ₹200 crore.
They want him to speak directly to the media and explain his side.
Former MLA Prasanna Kumar Reddy challenged the MP to answer the accusations.
He also criticized the MP for having other TDP leaders respond instead.
YSRCP leaders separately complained about Deputy Mayor Roopkumar Yadav.
They said the deputy mayor used insulting language against former minister Anil Kumar Yadav.
They asked a municipal official to take disciplinary action.
YSRCP demanded that Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy directly address allegations of a ₹200 crore illegal mining scam.
Former MLA Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy challenged Vemireddy to respond personally to charges raised by former minister Anil Kumar Yadav.
