Meanwhile, Nara Lokesh, Telangana Minister and party General Secretary, accused local YSRCP workers of being behind the TDP leader’s murder.
In a post on X, Lokesh stated, “I strongly condemn the brutal killing of former TDP Sarpanch Vakiti Srinivasulu by YSP mobs in Hosur, Pattikonda mandal of Kurnool district. Srinivasa was brutally murdered by placing pepper in his eyes since he played an important role for the TDP in the elections. Despite popular rejection, Jagan and co. continue to commit such atrocities. Given the public government’s tolerance for incompetence among Telugu Desam members, those who perpetrate such acts will face severe consequences. The Telugu Desam Party supports the Srinivasulu family, which is under the control of the YCP group.”
