Annamayya Superintendent of Police Dheeraj K has blamed the opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), led by former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, for the violence that broke out during the nomination process for local body elections in Punganur on Friday.
The police alleged that YSRCP Rajampet MP PV Midhun Reddy and his supporters violated election guidelines, breached security barricades and triggered a disturbance, while the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSRCP traded accusations over the incident.
