Y. S. Avinash Reddy is an Indian politician who is the Member of Parliament in 16th Lok Sabha and 17th Lok Sabha from Kadapa (Lok Sabha constituency), Andhra Pradesh. He won the Indian general elections of 2014, 2019 and 2024 being a YSR Congress Party candidate.
In April 2018, he along with his party MPs resigned their posts in protest for not giving special status to Andhra Pradesh and issued a no-confidence notice on the government.[1] [2] [3]
Avinash Reddy was summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on criminal conspiracy [4] related to the murder of Y. S. Vivekananda Reddy, who has been brutally murdered and found at his residence in Kadapa on 15 March 2019. The death was first reported as a heart attack but later found to be a murder which led to further suspicion.[5] [6] The murder took place few weeks before the 2019 Andhra Pradesh General Elections. Along with his father Bhaskar Reddy, Avinash Reddy has been accused of conspiracy in the murder of Bhasker Reddy's cousin Vivekananda Reddy, based on a list of suspects submitted by the victim’s daughter Suneetha Nareddy.[7] The CBI has sent a notice to Avinash Reddy to attend the inquiry on 19 May 2023.[4] [8] [9]
