The visit of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu to the Annamayya and Chittoor districts as a part of his ‘Yuddha Bheri’ programme (a tour of unfinished irrigation projects) turned violent on August 4 (Friday) evening.
As per the itinerary, Mr. Naidu, after visiting Angallu village of Kurabalakota mandal in Annamayya district, would proceed to Puthalapattu in Chittoor district via the Punganur bypass road.
However, trouble broke out when some unidentified persons blocked the bypass road by placing a lorry, allegedly with an intention to disrupt Mr. Naidu’s convoy, at Beemaganipalle village on the outskirts of Punganur town.
