TDP Office Attack: Planned Attempt on Komareddy Pattabhi

Disturbing Findings in TDP Office Attack on Komareddy Pattabhi

In 2021, an attack on the Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) central office in Mangalagiri shook Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape. The case, now overseen by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), has brought out shocking new information. Reports suggest that the attack involved over 200 YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) supporters, allegedly orchestrated by senior party leaders to silence TDP spokesperson Komareddy Pattabhi Ram.

Key YSRCP Leaders Under Investigation

The CID investigation has highlighted the alleged involvement of several senior YSRCP members. According to recent reports, key figures such as Sajjala Rama Krishna Reddy, Appireddy, Raghuram, Nandigam Suresh, and Devineni Avinash are implicated in planning the attack. Panuganti Chaitanya, a YSRCP student leader and primary suspect, recently surrendered to authorities and disclosed critical details about the incident. His confession suggests a coordinated plan to retaliate against Pattabhi for his outspoken criticism of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Inside Chaitanya’s Confession

Chaitanya revealed disturbing details on meeting where attack planned. He shared that YSRCP leaders, including Uma Maheswara Reddy and Sajjala. Instructed him and his group to carry out a violent raid on the TDP office. According to Chaitanya, the attackers came prepared with iron rods and sticks. Their goal extended beyond causing chaos; they aimed to kill Pattabhi for his harsh comments. This admission, recently reported by Telugu media, has drawn public concern over the targeted nature of the attack.

Delay in Action Until Naidu’s Government

Although authorities registered a case shortly after the attack, action remained limited until Chandrababu Naidu assumed office under the NDA. Naidu quickly ordered a renewed investigation, resulting in several arrests and a deeper probe into those who allegedly planned the assault. Under Naidu’s direction, the CID has prioritized not only those who participated but also the individuals who orchestrated the attack.

YSRCP Leaders Face Mounting Pressure

With Chaitanya’s confession now public, YSRCP leaders allegedly involved are facing growing scrutiny. The investigation by the CID is to escalate, calling for arrest of those behind assault. As the case continues, the future of some high-profile YSRCP figures may hang in the balance, potentially reshaping Andhra Pradesh’s political atmosphere.

Komareddy Pattabhi Calls for Justice and Accountability

The attack has sparked widespread calls for justice, with TDP supporters urging accountability. Many are looking to Naidu’s government to conduct a fair investigation, hoping it will bring closure to those who were injured in the attack. Tensions between the TDP and YSRCP are now rising, and the public demands an impartial inquiry to address these serious allegations.
