Violence erupted in the village of Nalgondavaripalli as a clash between supporters of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) turned into a stone-pelting incident during the intense ZPTC by-election campaign in the Pulivendula constituency.
As tensions continue to mount in the region, chaos ensued when YSRCP MLC Ramesh Yadav's convoy was attacked by an alleged mob of TDP workers. Both parties suffered injuries, with Yadav, Ramalinga Reddy, and two TDP leaders among those hurt and taken for medical treatment.
The election atmosphere remains tense as accusations fly. YSRCP leaders claim that TDP supporters are engaging in 'undemocratic methods,' while local authorities struggle to maintain order and ensure safety amid these turbulent political times.
