Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on August 4 (Friday) blamed Energy Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy and the district police administration for the “attack on the TDP cadres” near Punganur.
Mr. Naidu was addressing people on the bypass road on the outskirts of Punganur town, where violence broke out ahead of his visit, which forced the police to resort to lathi-charge and use teargas shells to quell the mob.
The TDP supremo alleged that Mr. Ramachandra Reddy engineered the attack with a view to disrupting his ‘Yuddha Bheri’ (visit to unfinished irrigation projects) programme.
