Sreenivasulu and his son Raghava Reddy are allegedly part of the 'South Group', who turned approvers in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy scam.
TDP has fielded Ongole MP and liquor baron Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy, an accused-turned-approver in the Delhi excise policy scam, from the same constituency. He and son Raghava Magunta Reddy, also an accused-turn-approver in the liquor case, had quit YSRCP and joined TDP on 16 March. The duo was allegedly part of South Group that reportedly gave kickbacks to AAP leaders.
