NJR's brother feared by life threat.

The AICC member, Mr Nedurumalli Padmanabha Reddy, elder brother of former chief minister, Mr N. Janardhan Reddy, on Tuesday met the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, and complained against his brother. He alleged that there was threat to his life and his family members from his brother.

Mr Padmanabha Reddy who is over 80 years old met the Chief Minister along with the Union minister of state for textiles, Ms Panabaka Laxmi and her husband, Mr Panabaka Krishnaiah, who had unsuccessfully contested the Gudur Assembly segment in Nellore district.

Mr Padmanabha Reddy said his brother Mr Janardhan Reddy had asked him to oppose the candidature of Mr Krishnaiah in the Assembly polls as he did not like him and told him to work for the Telugu Desam nominee. Mr Padmanabha Reddy said that he opposed the move and claimed that Mr Janardhan Reddy and his associates were responsible for the defeat of Congress nominees in several segments in Nellore.
