The YSR Congress Party has taken action against four of its legislators for their involvement in cross-voting during the MLC elections. The suspended legislators are Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy, and Undavalli Sridevi. In a press conference, official spokesperson Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy accused TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu of offering huge sums of money ranging from Rs 10 cr to Rs 15 cr to the suspended MLAs to buy their votes. He stated that the YSR Congress Party high command took disciplinary action against the suspended MLAs after being convinced of the circumstances. Sajjala explained that while the suspended MLAs may try to defend themselves by denying the accusations, the party leadership was convinced of their guilt and therefore had to take strict disciplinary action.
