The Vemireddy family broke its earlier silence on Thursday by publicly countering accusations leveled by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). Spouse of MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy, Kovur MLA Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy, led the response, rejecting claims that her husband was involved in an illegal quartz‑mining syndicate.
Prashanthi Reddy said her husband, a prominent businessman, has secured contracts amounting to roughly ₹50,000 crore, eliminating any motive for illicit activity. She added that a quartz‑mining venture in Nellore was explored in early 2024 to generate local jobs but was abandoned to avoid escalating political controversy. The rebuttal also singled out former ministers P. Anil Kumar Yadav and Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy, whom she accused of politicising the issue.
The YSRCP’s allegations had intensified scrutiny on the Vemireddy family ahead of the post‑election political realignment in Nellore, where the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and its NDA allies have been seeking to recover from a week of negative coverage. Local leaders including TDP district president Beeda Ravichandra, Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and ex‑Deputy Mayor P. Roop Kumar Yadav convened press briefings to defend the family and challenge the YSRCP narrative. Analysts note that the exchange could reshape factional dynamics ahead of upcoming state‑level contests.
