If it is proved that I’m a smuggler, I’ll stay away from politics: Peddireddy

AP Minister Peddireddy Ramachandrareddy has alleged that TDP leaders are spreading false propaganda that YCP is involved in fake voters issues in Tirupati by-polls. Speaking to media in Tirupati, he said pro-TDP media were going to polling booths and intimidating voters.

Peddireddy said the allegations were being made as per the plan for fear of defeat. He said he had complained to the Election Commission about media harassing the voters.

Responding to comments made by Nara Lokesh, Peddireddy said, “If it is proved that I’m a smuggler, I’ll stay away from politics.” He said, “Tirupati is a shrine and many private buses will come to Tirupati as it is a tourist destination. It’s awful to portray those buses as vicious.” He incensed that passengers traveling in buses were being obstructed by TDP leaders. He said that TDP’s style is very objectionable.
