YSRCP Member of Parliament from Kadapa Y.S. Avinash Reddy has brushed aside the allegations of his involvement in the murder of former MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy as is being alleged by his cousin and APCC president Y.S. Sharmila, and says he will leave it to her conscience.

Ms. Sharmila, who is contesting from the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat, has been aggressively taking Mr. Avinash Reddy’s name during her campaign for the last two days.

On the first day, she had the slain former MP’s daughter and cousin Suneetha Narreddy by her side, to take the message effectively across to the public during her address from her campaign vehicle.

Mr. Avinash Reddy, who has been maintaining a stoic silence over the issue for quite a long time, had given a calculated response recently.

It was in the context of the second offensive against him that Mr. Avinash chose to speak on the issue during his campaign in Badvel town on April 6 (Saturday) along with the Assembly candidate Dasari Sudha.

“I am really shocked to listen to the baseless allegations made by Ms. Sharmila against me. I will not respond to these unfounded charges, and leave it to her conscience,” he said.
