Former Minister Perni Nani has denied any involvement of the government in phone tapping, following allegations made by MLA Kotam Reddy. Nani expressed his dissatisfaction during a media interaction after a meeting with Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He stated that Kotam Reddy's claims are merely a means of seeking sympathy and advised the MLA to raise an official complaint and request an investigation if he truly believes that his phone is being monitored. Furthermore, Nani accused Kotam Reddy of placing his trust in the weak leadership of TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu. He claimed that Chandrababu was unable to appoint even party in-charges for certain constituencies.
