The confrontation occurred between supporters of MLC Ramagopal Reddy and B.Tech Ravi, escalating into a verbal and physical altercation despite Minister Savita’s presence.
AP Minister Savita had organized a constituency-level meeting in Pulivendula which was attended by B.Tech Ravi, Ramagopal Reddy, and TDP President Srinivasul Reddy. The situation became tense when Pardasaradhi Reddy’s group from Vemula mandal confronted MLC Ramagopal Reddy, questioning his presence at the meeting.
Pardasaradhi Reddy’s supporters accused Ramagopal Reddy of selling jobs in IT departments and working in favor of the opposition YSRCP. They also raised complaints about mining issues in Vemula mandal, which further inflamed tensions between the groups.
