TDP Leaders Try To Attack Roja, Tension in Putturu

Tirupati: In what could be termed as political goondaism, the TDP leaders in Chittoor district tried to attack YSR Congress Party MLA RK Roja today. The YSRCP MLA had come to participate in the inauguration function of Putturu Government hospital building. Brushing protocol aside, the TDP leaders and supporters stopped Roja and even tried to attack her.

This triggered a reaction from YSRCP workers and supporters who swung into action and stopped the TDP leaders. As a result, the situation in Putturu became tension for some time. Interestingly enough, the events unfolded in the presence of minister Amarnath Reddy, who had also come for the hospital building inauguration.

Prior to attending the inauguration programme, Roja spoke to mediapersons and expressed her anger against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and said that AP CM ignored the plight of farmers in his own district. This was the case with tomato earlier and with mango today. Farmers are facing hardships without minimum support price from the government. Chandrababu shows false love for farmers, she added.
