The former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh and TDP national president Chandrababu Naidu alleged that YSRCP MLA Katsani Rambhupal Reddy was behind the murders of TDP leaders Nageshwar Reddy and Pratap Reddy in Pesaravai in Kurnool district. He warned YSRCP leaders and police officials that the days would never be the same and that they would have to pay the price. Chandrababu Naidu released a statement to this effect.

Naidu said that more than thirty TDP activists were sacked, and about 1500 leaders were harassed by demolishing the houses and acquiring the assets. He expressed displeasure over the police system for not taking action against those involved in the attacks and acting in lines with the ruling YSRCP government.
