Tirupati: Kovur assembly constituency in Nellore district continues to remain on the simmer for the second consecutive day following derogatory remarks made by former YSRCP legislator Nallapareddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy on TDP legislator Vemiredddy Prashanti Reddy. It may be recalled that Prasanna Kumar had passed several derogatory remarks on Prashanti Reddy during a party workers meeting held at a Kalyana Mandapam at Kovur on Monday. "I know Prashanti Reddy's entire life history. Where was she ten years ago. I wonder why Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy married her. If he would have asked me I would have arranged a suitable girl to get married to him. Vemireddy has thousands of crores of rupees wealth and he should be cautious as I have credible information that two meetings were held with an agenda to eliminate him,' Prasanna Kumar remarked during Monday's meeting. In retaliation, angry TDP cadres and followers of Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy and Prashanti Reddy ransacked Prasanna Kumar Reddy's residence on Monday night. Taking a strong exception to the derogatory remarks, thousands of women from across the district congregated at Kovur and carried out a peaceful protest march on Tuesday. Angry protestors demanded an unconditional apology from the YSRCP leader and warned that they will not allow him to enter Kovur until he apologises to the Kovur MLA. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
