YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy cancelled his Tirumala visit amid a police crackdown on party leaders and rising security concerns. The trip was intended as part of rituals to atone for alleged sins by CM Chandrababu Naidu. Police warnings were issued to YSRCP leaders ahead of the planned visit.

VIJAYWADA: Amid a massive crackdown on his party leaders by the Andhra Pradesh police, YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday cancelled his planned visit to Tirumala for darshan of Lord Venkateswara.
Jagan was scheduled to reach Tirumala on Friday night and visit the temple for darshan on Saturday.
Hours before his departure from Tadepalle to Tirupati, Jagan decided to cancel his trip amid growing demands for giving ‘declaration of faith’ and security concerns.
The YSRCP chief had said he would visit the temple as part of the statewide temple rituals called for by the party to atone for the ‘sin’ allegedly committed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu through his allegations on Tirupati laddus.
YSRCP had alleged that the state police, under orders from Chandrababu Naidu and minister Nara Lokesh, have issued warnings to YSRCP leaders ahead of Reddy’s visit, instructing them not to participate.
