How the Rama Rajyam Army Was Formed

Meetings, Uniforms, and the Attack on Rangarajan
In January 2024, Reddy held a four-day meeting with his group in Tanuku, Andhra Pradesh, and then went to Kotappakonda, where they had custom uniforms made. On February 2, they gathered at a house in Yapral, Hyderabad, took photos and videos with their banner, and planned their next steps.

On February 7, they traveled to Chilukuru Balaji Temple in three vehicles and entered priest Rangarajan’s house. When Rangarajan tried to speak, they insulted him, threw him down, and beat him up. He is still recovering from his injuries.

Officers are also investigating Reddy’s past criminal record and any other reasons behind the attack. There is no evidence that Reddy and Rangarajan had met before.
