TDP, YSRCP workers clash at DSC protest in Vijayawada, Vizag; Malladi Vishnu taken into custody
The YSRCP had sought a CBI inquiry into the DSC-2025 recruitment; TDP leaders alleged the camp had no permission, the tent was allegedly removed, and the police cleared the site and detained protesters
On Thursday, tension erupted in the Muthyalampadu area of Vijayawada when TDP and YSRCP workers clashed during a hunger strike protest led by YSRCP's Malladi Vishnu. The YSRCP demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the DSC-2025 recruitment process and called for the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh.
The situation turned volatile when TDP leaders arrived at the protest site, accusing the YSRCP of setting up the strike without official permission and alleging objectionable remarks against Lokesh. Tensions boiled over, leading to heated arguments and scuffles between the two groups.
Police intervened, taking Malladi Vishnu into custody for allegedly conducting the protest without proper authorization. YSRCP leaders claimed that individuals carrying TDP flags attacked him while he was being moved to a police station. As the hunger strike camp was cleared and supporters dispersed, TDP activists staged a sit-in at the site, blocking roads and raising slogans against the YSRCP.
