MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy accuses state government of monitoring calls

Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh YSRCP MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy made sensational claims against the YS Jagan-led government at a press conference, alleging that his phone is being tapped by the state government. He stated that an IPS officer close to him informed him of the phone tapping, but he initially didn't believe it. However, after receiving a call from a number that belongs to the AP Intelligence Chief Sitaramanjaneyulu and he sent an audio of his conversation with a friend, he concluded that his phone was indeed being monitored. He expressed concern that phones of other important figures, such as ministers, judges, IPS officers, journalists, and media owners, may also be tapped and that this is unacceptable. He said that "despite my three decades of loyalty to the YS family and my love for CM Jagan, I have decided not to contest on behalf of YCP in the next election. This decision was made after realizing that my phone was being tapped and my words were being monitored, despite the hard work and dedication I have shown to the party. I cannot continue to be in a place where I feel humiliated and disrespected. I will not compromise my principles and I will not be a part of any dishonest actions."
