JC Prabhakar Reddy slams BJP MLA for his comments on his family's financial status

Anantapur:Former Tadipathri MLA and municipal chairman, JC Prabhakar Reddy, criticised BJP MLA Adinarayana Reddy for his comments on his family's financial status. Reddy denied any illegal earnings, stating that his family has been financially stable for decades. He recalled his and his brother’s education in Madras in 1951, highlighting their use of luxury cars. He also expressed sorrow over the emotional distress caused to his sister-in-law, the wife of JC Diwakar Reddy, due to his health issues.

Prabhakar Reddy addressed the ongoing fly ash transportation issue, which had been a long-standing matter providing wages to Tadipathri residents. He said there was no action despite raising the matter with authorities. Reddy also expressed regret over the unemployment caused by the Ultratech cement factory issue and apologised for the hardships caused.

Meanwhile, BJP MLA Adinarayana Reddy had blocked the supply of fly ash to Tadipathri lorries, leading to political tension, with CM Chandrababu Naidu recently summoning both leaders. While Reddy attended, Prabhakar Reddy could not due to health reasons.
