TDP leader Varla Ramaiah accused Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of staging a drama during his CBI court appearance to avoid legal accountability. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in Andhra Pradesh politics.

Varla Ramaiah, a senior leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), publicly criticized Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the president of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), for his conduct during a recent appearance at the CBI Court in Hyderabad. Ramaiah accused Jagan of orchestrating a show of strength by mobilizing supporters, which he deemed unnecessary and a tactic to create a narrative of law and order issues. He pointed out that Jagan is implicated in several significant financial irregularity cases across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where he is the main accused. Ramaiah suggested that the crowd's presence was a strategy to influence future court appearances by claiming disturbances caused by his supporters.
