Kotha Prabhakar Reddy is an Indian politician who won in 2014 a by-election held for the Medak (Lok Sabha constituency) being Telangana Rashtra Samithi candidate.[1] He won by a margin of 3,61,277 votes in the by-poll which was a major shock for the oppositions who had expected the ruling party to lose their seat after the TRS party head K. Chandrashekhar Rao had resigned from the seat after taking oath as the chief minister of the newly formed state Telangana.[1][2][3]
Kotha Prabhakar Reddy has been born to a Farmer and has a humble beginning.
On October 30, 2023, an unidentified person attacked Kotha Prabhakar Reddy with a knife in the stomach while posing as if to shake hands with him during a campaign in Siddipet district. He was promptly apprehended by fellow followers and is currently in police custody, undergoing interrogation.[4]
