YSRCP Alleges Police Assault on Former Minister Vidadala Rajini in Andhra Pradesh
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) alleges that a police sub-inspector pushed former Minister Vidadala Rajini to the ground at her Chilakaluripet residence while she was distributing election forms. The party claims police obstructed its candidates, including Dalit leader Pandula Bullabbayi, from entering her home, accusing the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) of interference. YSRCP demands an independent investigation, immediate action against the officer involved, and accountability from Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to ensure a fair election process.
