Political tensions have risen sharply in NTR district following the coalition government’s actions to block YSRCP leader and former minister Jogi Ramesh’s visit to Mulapadu. Ramesh had planned to inspect illegal ash dumps being transported by TDP leaders, a practice he claims is being exploited for illegal earnings.

On Wednesday, as Ramesh attempted to visit Mulapadu, the coalition government intervened, deploying police forces to prevent his entry. Large police deployments were seen in Ibrahimpatnam and around Ramesh’s residence, where Section 144 was imposed, preventing group gatherings.

YSRCP activists gathered in large numbers at Ramesh’s residence, protesting the police action and pleading to be allowed to visit the site. The situation escalated, creating a tense atmosphere. Meanwhile, TDP MLA Vasantha Krishna Prasad has vehemently denied the allegations of illegal ash trade, adding to the political drama surrounding the incident.

He questioned Ravindra’s financial disclosures, pointing out that his 2024 election affidavit declared assets worth only ₹2 crore, while TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu claimed Ravindra had contributed ₹1 crore in party donations. “How can you afford that with your declared assets? Why do you frequently travel to Hyderabad every week and to Dubai every few months? Do you have the courage to show your passport and visa records?” Nani asked.

He further accused TDP leader Gorrepati Gopichand of acting as a “ de facto minister ” in Machilipatnam and alleged that false propaganda was being spread about temple lands. Nani demanded transparency and accountability.

He clarified that the lands used for the festival would return to the Endowments Department after completion. Venkanna demanded that Perni Nani first explain the alleged land misuse in Machilipatnam. He asked why the opposition was targeting the government without answering about earlier scandals.

Meanwhile, Perni Nani accused the ruling coalition of planning to misuse temple property. He said 39.99 acres of Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple land in Gollapudi were included in proposals. According to him, five acres were set aside for a golf practice range and 34.99 acres for an exhibition ground.

YCP leaders countered that the project would promote tourism and exhibitions, not land grabbing. They said the opposition was twisting facts to mislead people. Political tension continues in Vijayawada, with both sides trading allegations over temple lands and festival management.
