YSRCP State General Secretary MVS Nagi Reddy claims that the attack on former minister Jogi Ramesh's house was carried out in an "organised manner". The house of the former Andhra Pradesh minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Jogi Ramesh was vandalised and set on fire on Monday.
"A large mob descended on Jogi Ramesh's residence, ransacked the premises, damaged household articles, and torched parts of the house, triggering panic in the locality. The attackers acted in an organised manner, leaving behind destruction and fear”, said Nagi Reddy.
According to local sources, hundreds of TDP followers descended on Jogi Ramesh's residence at Ibrahimpatnam. As per the YSRCP leaders, Jogi Ramesh, a well-known BC leader, was deliberately targeted, pointing to a pattern of political intimidation.
Over the past week, the state has witnessed back-to-back incidents of alleged targeting of senior YSRCP leaders. The violence was widespread in response to alleged abusive remarks made by YSRCP leader Ambati Rambabu against Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Meanwhile, Ambati Rambabu was remanded to 14 days of judicial custody by the Guntur court and sent to Rajahmundry Central Prison in connection with a case related to alleged derogatory remarks against CM Chandrababu Naidu, according to the YSRCP legal cell.
According to Guntur West DSP, Rambabu was arrested at his residence in Vikas Nagar in Guntur after police surrounded the place, took him into custody, and escorted him in a police van on Saturday.
