High political drama unfolded in Andhra Pradesh’s Tadipatri on Thursday as senior TDP leader J.C. Prabhakar Reddy staged a protest outside the Tadipatri Rural Police Station, demanding action over an alleged attack on party workers in Thimmampalli village.
Reddy reportedly lay on a bed outside the police station and announced that he would continue his protest overnight, increasing pressure on the police to act against those allegedly involved in the incident. Heavy police deployment was reported across Tadipatri as authorities sought to prevent any further escalation and maintain law and order. Both leaders command substantial political support, and their rivalry has often been accompanied by heightened tensions and increased police deployment in the area. A large group of TDP supporters also gathered outside the residence of Kethireddy Pedda Reddy, prompting police intervention.
A former Tadipatri MLA, Prabhakar Reddy belongs to the influential J.C. political family. His brother, J.C. Diwakar Reddy, is also a veteran politician. Prabhakar Reddy has served as chairman of the Tadipatri Municipality and is known for his strong grassroots network in the region.
