The BRS also demanded police welfare associations and IPS officers associations, which had issued statements against Huzurabad MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy, to respond with similar intensity to Jagga Reddy’s acts as well. Citing examples of the police binding over BRS leaders and workers when there were meetings, the MLA demanded that the police bind over Jagga Reddy on counting day.
