Tension prevailed in Tadipatri town of Anantapur district when supporters of the TDP and YSRCP clashed at a polling booth on Monday.
Trouble began when sitting MLA and YSRCP candidate Kethireddi Peddareddy and TDP candidate J.C. Ashmit Reddy, along with his father and Tadipatri Municipal Chairman Prabhakar Reddy, arrived at the polling station at the same time and got into a brawl over who should enter the polling booth first. The tension escalated when the supporters of both parties’ leaders joined the heated argument.
Police intervention could not stop a large mob gathering and resorting to stone pelting at the parked cars near the polling station.
