Sources from Nandyal have stated that YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly condemned the midnight raids on the houses of party workers by the police without a search warrant. Meanwhile when addressing a 'Arya-Vysya Atmeyaa Sabha' here on Saturday as part of the party's Nandyal by-poll campaign, he said the raids are a way of intimidating the YSRCP party workers by the Chandrababu Naidu government.
Meanwhile the YSRCP chief questioned that "The raids are TDP's way of frightening women and children. Large number of police personnel descends on the houses without a warrant and search the houses. The police seized Rs 10,000 in one instance and Rs 20,000 in another instance. Isn't there a procedure to follow when conducting raids?"
Sources have stated that the police raids were held on the houses of YSRCP
workers: Satyanarayana, Ramesh, Amrutraj, Nagireddy, Jagadishwar Reddy,
Ramalinga Reddy, Lakshminarayana, Bala Hussain and Bhuvaneshwar. Moreover
during the meeting on Saturday, YSRCP candidate for the by-polls Silpa Mohan
Reddy and leaders of Nandyal Arya-Vysya associations were present.
