The IAS and the IPS officers were also coming under severe threat and pressure from the ruling YCP MLAs in Andhra Pradesh. Those officers, who expect some autonomy and independent functioning, are facing embarrassment. Now, it has become the turn of Nellore district SP to come face to face with the YCP leaders.

YCP MLA Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy has threatened the SP for instructing the lower level staff not to book SC, ST atrocities cases. The SP has done this following pressure from the Opposition TDP leaders who threatened to go on agitation if false atrocities cases were filed against them. But, Prasanna Kumar Reddy argued that such atrocities cases were being filed freely in all other districts and why not in Nellore district.

The YCP MLA gave an open warning that the SP would not stay for more than a month as he was adopting a strange attitude. Nothing would happen if atrocities were filed. An inquiry would be carried out at the level of a DSP officer. What was the problem for the SP to file atrocities cases? The SP was acting like a TDP agent.

This one incident was enough to say how the ruling YCP MLAs were using the SC, ST atrocities cases as a political weapon to harass the Opposition leaders.
