TDP’s Planned Chaos Causes Postponement Of Proddatur Civic Chief Election

Kadapa: Ruckus created by the TDP councillors has ensured that the election of Proddatur municipal chairman was postponed to Sunday.

The TDP members, who were hell bent on postponing the elections, created chaos and destroyed furniture in the hallway. The officials postponed the election citing this mayhem. The councillors took away the minutes book and created a scene in the council hall. When the YSRCP members tried to counter them, they tried to attack them. The police had to enter to bring the situation under control.

The TDP is trying to grab the post of municipal chairman despite not have the requisite majority. Minister Adinarayana Reddy is reportedly threatening YSRCP members to fall in line and support his candidates. Some of the councillors, who voted for the TDP candidate in the recent MLC elections, have come back to the YSRCP fold after the YSRCP issued a whip. This has unnerved the TDP and they have resorted to violence to put off the elections till Sunday.
