A tense atmosphere enveloped Nellore as a YSRCP local leader attempted to assault TDP polit bureau member Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy with a crowbar in Kattuvapalli village. The incident, occurring during a TDP awareness program, underscores escalating political tensions in the region. Mr. Chandramohan Reddy attributed the attack to frustration within the ruling party, citing defections to the TDP.
