The Andhra Pradesh Engineers’ Federation strongly condemned the “barbaric attitude” of Rajanagaram MLA Jakkampudi Raja, who allegedly slapped Assistant Executive Engineer Surya Kiran during a review meeting on June 1.
“We demand that the MLA be arrested for manhandling an officer while he was on government duty,” the federation said.
Federation chairman V.V. Murali Krishna Naidu and secretary general K. Sangeetha Rao said the root cause for the incident was non-payment of bills of a canal desilting work for the last two years.
