Tension gripped Vinukonda town in Palnadu district of Andhra Pradesh following a clash between workers of the YSR Congress Party and the Telugu Desam Party. A circle inspector of police fired in the air and police resorted to lathi-charge to bring the situation under control.
The clash erupted when TDP leaders took out a rally protesting against the police lodging cases against the party’s Palnadu district president G.V. Anjanneylu and others, who reportedly levelled allegations against YSRCP MLA Bolla Brahma Naidu over illegal mining.
The TDP leaders had alleged that the YSRCP MLA indulged in illegal gravel mining. The MLA denied the allegations, and YSRCP leaders lodged a complaint against the TDP leaders, including Mr. Anjanneylu. Based on the complaint, the police registered a case of trespass against the TDP leaders, stating that they entered the private property and threatened them.
