YCP Abuser Meets Lokesh: TDP Cadre Furious
YCP Abuser-Turned-Professional Meets Lokesh: Sparks Outrage
Jagan Mohan Reddy has often been accused of using his party leaders and supporters to personally target political opponents like Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh. Over the years, several of his followers have made derogatory remarks about TDP leaders and their families. One such individual is YCP Abuser Ippala Ravindra Reddy, a former vocal supporter of YSR Congress Party (YCP) and a known online activist for the party. His past social media posts were filled with abusive remarks against the TDP leadership, leading to his arrest in 2017.
Ravindra Reddy’s Meeting with Lokesh – What Happened?
To everyone’s surprise, Ravindra Reddy recently met IT Minister Nara Lokesh. However, this was not a personal meeting but rather an official engagement as part of a Cisco delegation.
Ravindra Reddy is now a key member of Cisco’s regional team.
He attended a meeting with Lokesh in an official capacity regarding the skill development project.
The delegation discussed AI, machine learning, and technology initiatives to support the government’s vision.
While this may have been a purely professional engagement, the presence of a known YCP supporter with a controversial past did not sit well with TDP cadres.
TDP Supporters Outraged: Why the Backlash?
🚨 As soon as pictures of the meeting surfaced online, TDP supporters lashed out on social media.
Questioning Ravindra Reddy’s credibility: How could someone who abused Chandrababu and Lokesh now sit in a meeting with them?
Demanding strict action: TDP cadres, already frustrated over lack of action against YCP’s past abuses, saw this as an insult to their party’s leadership.
Fueling dissatisfaction: The situation escalated quickly, leading to massive outrage among loyalists.
Government Reacts Swiftly to the Backlash of YCP Abuser
Understanding the growing resentment, the government acted quickly.
🔹 An official email sent to Cisco, requesting the exclusion of Ravindra Reddy from the project.
🔹 Authorities ensured that he would not be involved in further operations related to the government’s skill development initiative.
This incident highlights TDP’s ongoing battle against YCP’s political tactics and the growing discontent among party supporters. The swift response from the government aims to reassure the cadre that their concerns heard.
With political tensions high, it remains to seen how the TDP leadership navigates such controversies while maintaining its vision for progress.
