High tension in Gudivada
Vijayawada: Krishna district ZP chairperson Uppala Harika's car was attacked by TDP functionaries at Nagavarappadu junction in Gudivada on Saturday, while she was heading to a YSRCP meeting at K Convention. TDP supporters blocked her vehicle for over an hour, damaging its rear windshield. Harika and her husband Uppala Ramu criticised police for failing to provide protection and questioned the state of democracy. Tensions escalated in Gudivada due to rival activities between TDP and YSRCP supporters. TDP cadre installed flexes mocking former minister Kodali Nani, depicting him polishing Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's shoes, referencing Nani's pre-election promise to do so if Naidu won in Kuppam. The flexes were set up near Nehru Chowk during the YSRCP meeting. Also, TDP supporters tore down YSRCP flexes featuring Krishna district president Perni Nani, who had recently criticised coalition leaders for cases against YSRCP members. YSRCP supporters alleged police inaction during the vandalism. TDP, led by Gudivada MLA Venigandla Ramu, conducted a door-to-door campaign celebrating one year of coalition rule under Suparipalana program. Hundreds of TDP supporters gathered at Nagavarappadu junction, a kilometer from K Convention, to block YSRCP leaders from attending their meeting. Despite police presence, the attack on Harika's vehicle heightened tensions. Gudivada, a stronghold of Kodali Nani with five electoral victories, faces potential law-and-order issues due to the provocative flexes and ongoing political rivalry.

Stop YSRCP leaders from making vulgar comments on women: Anitha to Jagan
Minister for Home Vangalapudi Anitha on Tuesday urged former chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to rein in YSRCP leaders from making derogatory remarks against women, stating that such comments deeply hurt lakhs of women across the State. Speaking to media in Bobbili, she said that the comments made by former MLA Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy about Kovur MLA Vemireddi Prashanti Reddy shocked people across the State, including TDP leaders and activists. Mr. Jagan's stoic silence on the issue indicates his support for Mr. Prasanna Kumar Reddy in the episode. Recalling the recent controversy surrounding a TV channel debate on sex workers issues, Ms. Anitha called on the YSRCP high command to restrain party leaders, activists and sympathisers from making vulgar comments on women in the State. Earlier, she participated in 'Suparipalana' programme in Bobbili and highlighted the achievements of the TDP government in the last one year. Bobbili MLA Baby Nayana, Vizianagaram District Cooperative Central Bank President Kimidi Nagarjuna and others were present.
