The high-profile murder case of former Member of Parliament Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy continues to haunt Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape, five years after his brutal demise. As the state gears up for elections, opposition parties criticize the government for the perceived delays in resolving the case. Vivekananda Reddy’s influential status in Kadapa district and his familial ties to former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy have added weight to the case’s significance.
Despite initial confusion over the cause of death, the CBI’s investigation and subsequent charges have shed light on alleged conspirators, leading to arrests and legal battles. The involvement of Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter, Dr. Suneetha Narreddy, and her persistent appeals for expedited justice add complexity to the case. With accusations flying between political factions, including Vivekananda Reddy’s own family members, the case remains a contentious issue ahead of the 2024 general elections.
