The leaders of both the parties reportedly got into a heated argument over the ‘protocol’ to be followed in the program.

Tension prevailed after an alleged scuffle broke out between YSRCP and TDP leaders during an official event of GVMC in Ward 26 of the city on Thursday.

There was a heated argument between the leaders of both the sides over the alleged ‘protocol’ being followed in the programme, which led to a scuffle. Police force had to be deployed to bring the situation under control.

Mayor G. Hari Venkata Kumari, Deputy Mayor K. Satish, Ward Councilor M. Shravani (TDP) and leaders of both the parties participated in the program in which foundation stone for development works worth Rs 1.53 crore was laid in Lalita Nagar. Shantipuram area.

This led to a debate between some leaders of the YSRCP and TDP, who questioned each other’s presence at the event. This led to a fight between the two groups.

TDP leaders alleged that this is not the first time that YSRCP leaders have “deliberately violated” protocol norms. TDP councilor and party floor leader in GVMC Peela Srinivasa Rao said, “The party will file a complaint with the collector on the issue.”
