YSRCP MLA from Nellore K Sridhar Reddy has alleged that his phones were being tapped by the intelligence officials.

He claimed that he was aware of the phone tapping that was going on for the past three months and hence was using several phones and different sims to discuss secrets.

He even challenged the state government saying that Pegasus spyware was unable to breach Facetime and Telegram calls.

It is ironic because the YSRCP while in the opposition had alleged that the then Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had procured the spyware from Israelis and were using it against the YSRCP, he said.

Previously, the MLA had embarrassed the ruling party by wading into the dirty waters of a drain to highlight civic issues in his constituency.
