YSRCP Alleges Police Assault on Former Minister Vidadala Rajini

The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party alleged that Chilakaluripet Rural Sub-Inspector Priyanka pushed former Minister Vidadala Rajini to the ground during an incident at her residence in Chilakaluripet. Ms. Rajini was under house arrest while attempting to distribute B-forms to local body election candidates. Police allegedly stopped Dalit leader and Yadlapadu ZPTC candidate Pandula Bullabbayi at the gate when he arrived to meet her.

According to the party, Ms. Rajini was pushed after questioning police for preventing candidates from entering her residence. The YSRCP demanded immediate action against the officer, an independent investigation, and intervention by the State Election Commission. The party also accused police of obstructing nomination filings at the behest of Telugu Desam Party leaders.
