A group of Dalits alleged that YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Moilla Suresh Reddy was involved in land grabbing. Tension prevailed after an argument between both the groups at GVRR College in Nellore Rural constituency on Friday.
Speaking to the media, one of them, Rajesh, alleged that Mr. Suresh Reddy encroached on their land in Kalyan Nagar near GVRR College. “We have all the documents regarding the 62-acre land parcel. The YSRCP leader has been threatening us for the past three years,” he said.
“During the YSRCP regime, we were called to police stations and kept waiting all day because of Mr. Suresh Reddy. YSRCP leader Anam Vijayakumar Reddy from Chintareddypalem also supported him. We are on the verge of ending our lives,” he said.
Another Dalit, Vadanala Salma, appealed the district administration to return their land in Kalyan Nagar and do them justice. She also urged the authorities to protect them from the threats of the YSRCP leaders.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Suresh Reddy, who is the husband of 21 Division Corporator Moilla Gowri, said the allegations were a part of political vendetta. “With the support of a local leader, these people are making allegations with fake documents,” he said.
