Mohith Reddy Denies Lokesh's Allegations Against Chevireddy Family

Chevireddy Mohith Reddy, a leader of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and in-charge of the Chandragiri constituency, has firmly rejected allegations made by Nara Lokesh, the National Working President of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Human Resource Development Minister. During a media conference held in Tirupati on April 16, 2026, Mohith Reddy addressed accusations that his father, former MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, and their family were involved in both a liquor scam and a laddu scam. He characterized these claims as entirely baseless and criticized the language used by Mr. Lokesh as inappropriate for his official stature. Furthermore, Mohith Reddy countered the political narrative regarding local sentiment in Chandragiri by highlighting that the YSRCP had recently won the MPTC seat in Naravaripalle, the ancestral village of the Nara family, which falls under the Chandragiri constituency. This exchange underscores the intensifying political rivalry between the YSRCP and TDP in Andhra Pradesh, with both parties leveraging public statements to challenge each other's integrity and local influence ahead of future electoral considerations.
