Andhra Pradesh's Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan Kalyan, has made it unequivocally clear that any political leader who assaults or obstructs a government official will face severe consequences. His statement comes in the wake of an alleged attack by C Sudarshan Reddy, a local YSRCP leader, on a Dalit government official.

Kalyan spoke to reporters at Kadapa RIMS Hospital, condemning the alleged attack on Jawahar Babu, a Mandal Parishad Development Officer, who was reportedly subjected to physical assault, casteist abuse, and threats for not handing over room keys.

Expressing concern over recurring incidents, Kalyan urged senior officials to prevent such acts and criticized the YSRCP for its persistent arrogance despite diminishing political power, appealing to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for stronger discipline within the party.
