It a clear reflection of deteriorating law and order and politically driven violence in Andhra Pradesh.

YSRCP State General Secretary Gadikota Srikanth Reddy described the assault carried out allegedly by supporters of Minister Ram Prasad Reddy using deadly weapons, as a barbaric and undemocratic act. He stating that attacks on opposition leaders and cadres have sharply increased since the coalition government assumed power.

He accused the Government of misusing police machinery to target opposition voices instead of addressing public issues. A Red Book regime has replaced constitutional governance, with false cases being filed and vulnerable sections, party workers, and those questioning the Government facing systematic attacks, he alleged.

Red Book is a reference to a book carried by TDP leader Nara Lokesh during the election campaign. Red Book has names of all those who harassed TDP cadres during YSRCP rule and had declared that they will be brought to justice.

Rajampeta MP P.V. Midhun Reddy stated that the attack was carried out in the presence of police, exposing their failure and alleged complicity. He stated that despite prior complaints by Dasaratha Ramireddy to CI and DSP officials regarding threats and repeated attacks on his function hall, no preventive action were taken, resulting in the victim now battling for life with severe injuries.

He expressed outrage that despite clear video evidence, no cases have been registered against the accused and demanded immediate registration of attempt-to-murder charges and strict legal action. Highlighting the broader pattern, he said police are aggressively filing multiple cases against YSRCP social media activists while remaining inactive when ruling party supporters carry out violent attacks in broad daylight.
