The actions of a TDP woman MLA have sparked controversy in the combined Kurnool region.
She blocked TDP and Jana Sena leaders from opening liquor shops, despite the alliance between the two parties.
While it would be expected for her to oppose YSRCP rivals, it’s surprising that she resisted her own allies.
This MLA has gained a reputation for controversy in the district, especially after a previous incident at a dairy office in Nandyal.
Reports suggest that she issued orders preventing certain coalition leaders from opening liquor shops. Among those affected were TDP senior leader AV Subba Reddy and Jana Sena leader Irigela Ram Pulla Reddy.
Subba Reddy secured a shop in Uyyalawada, and Ram Pulla Reddy and his associates obtained five shops, but the MLA reportedly blocked three of them.
She also issued warnings to coalition leaders in Dornipadu, Sirivella, and Rudravaram mandals, strongly opposing their involvement in the liquor business.
Meanwhile, pro-TDP newspapers report that Chandrababu Naidu is taking a serious stance against MLAs involved in illegal activities.
This raises questions about how Chandrababu will handle this particular MLA’s actions and whether the government can resolve such internal conflicts within its own coalition.
