Proddatur former MLA and YSRCP State spokesperson Rachamallu Sivaprasad Reddy condemned the recent public statements made by several leaders, including those holding top government positions, which contained obscene and below-the-belt remarks against opposition leaders.Addressing a media conference in Kadapa on Saturday (July 4, 2026), he said, “Telugu is a beautiful language, but our honourable Ministers and MLAs of the ruling dispensation are using its filthier side, even in public forums.”Stressing the reach of social media platforms today, Mr. Sivaprasad Reddy expressed concern over the possibility of children and young adults being exposed to vulgar language, which he felt could alter future political discourse and narratives.He also appealed to his party cadre to exercise utmost restraint when referring to political opponents, especially women and marginalised groups.
