Illegal cases were being filed against the YSRCP leaders and activists for questioning the NDA government on various people’s issues, party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said during his visit to Nellore on Thursday.

Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy met former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy during ‘mulaqat’ in the Nellore Central Prison, and assured to provide support to him in every possible way.

Later, the YSRCP chief went former Kovur MLA Nallapareddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy’s residence in Sujathamma Colony.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “A total of 14 fake cases have been filed against Mr. Govardhan Reddy. As soon as one case is over, another case is being filed. He has been kept in jail for 64 days. A case has been filed against him for forwarding a video of a press meet about TDP leader and Sarvepalli MLA S. Chandramohan Reddy.”
