A controversy has erupted in Andhra Pradesh following derogatory remarks made by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Nallapureddy Prasannakumar Reddy against Kovur MLA Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy, a member of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). Prasannakumar Reddy accused the TDP woman MLA of blackmailing and alleged that she married her husband, a sitting TDP Member of Parliament, with intentions to poison and kill him. These comments have been widely condemned by political leaders across parties. Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and NTR Trust Managing Trustee Nara Bhuvaneswari criticized the remarks as reflecting a troubling anti-woman mindset. TDP spokesperson Jyothsna Tirunagari described the comments as derogatory, disgusting, and inhumane. The incident has led to heightened political tensions, with reports of vandalism at Prasannakumar Reddy's residence, which he attributed to TDP supporters. YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy condemned the attack on Prasannakumar Reddy and accused the TDP of orchestrating political violence across the state. The controversy has sparked a broader debate on political discourse and the treatment of women in Andhra Pradesh politics.
