**Andhra Pradesh Minister Claims Jagan Reddy Received Full Security, Accuses Him of Irresponsible Behavior Following Fatal Incident**

VIJAYAWADA, June 24, 2025 – Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V. Anitha has publicly refuted allegations made by YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy regarding his security detail during a recent tour of Rentapalla. Minister Anitha insists Reddy was provided with Z-plus security, despite Reddy’s claims that lax security contributed to the death of a YSRCP sympathizer struck by his convoy.

“We provided the former Chief Minister security on par with Z-plus category protectee,” Minister Anitha stated in a press conference. She further added that police had cautioned Reddy against proceeding with a roadshow, which he continued for six hours.

The Home Minister also accused Reddy of acting irresponsibly in the aftermath of the accident that led to the death of the YSRCP supporter. “Even as Singaiah was struggling for life with bleeding injuries, the YSRCP leaders proceeded with the rally without caring for him. Had the YSRCP sympathiser been shifted to a hospital on time, he would have survived,” she said.

According to Anitha, the case is being investigated according to the law, and those responsible will be held accountable. Her statement comes as tensions rise between the YSRCP and the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh. This incident follows another event during Reddy’s Sattenapalli tour where two other deaths occurred.
