Jagan blames Andhra CM for violence in Kadapa district during bypoll campaign

AMARAVATI: YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of “orchestrating political violence” in Pulivendula Assembly constituency in Kadapa district during the ongoing ZPTC by-election campaign.

Tensions erupted at Nalgondavaripalli village of Kadapa district when TDP workers allegedly pelted stones at YSRCP MLC Ramesh Yadav’s convoy during the campaign, damaging his vehicle.

“Naidu is abusing power and engineering violence during the Pulivendula ZPTC by-election and is misusing the police machinery and encouraging rowdy politics in a desperate attempt to win the bypoll,” said Reddy in a post on ‘X’ late Wednesday.
