Tension prevailed at the Tangutur toll plaza on the Chennai-Kolkata highway for some time as Prakasam police foiled an attempt by a large number of ruling YSR Congress Party activists to lay a siege to the residence of Telugu Desam Party MLA Dola Balaveeranjenaya Swamy at Naidupalem on Saturday.
Tangutur police had a tough time restraining the supporters of former YSRCP Kondepi Assembly segment in-charge V. Ashok Babu, who insisted on proceeding to Mr. Swamy’s residence to protest against the corruption charges levelled by the TDP MLA against former Energy Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy.
