Banner dispute: TD leaders assault JS leaders

A video clip reportedly showing TD leader Shanku Srinu attacking JS leaders Yarramsetti Nani and Sayana Srinivas Rao has surfaced. In the footage, Srinu is seen forcing the JS leaders to fall at his feet and apologise for tearing down a banner in Machilipatnam. The dispute began when JS leaders Yarramsetti Nani and Sayana Srinivas Rao removed a banner put up by TD leaders in Parasupet, Machilipatnam, which featured greetings for the Vinayaka Chavithi festival but did not include any photos of JS leaders. In retaliation, TD supporters, led by Srinu, dismantled a banner put up by Shanku Srinu two days earlier. The situation escalated when TD cadres ransacked Yarramsetti Nani's home, assaulted him, and forced both Nani and Srinivas Rao to apologise. Following the incident, both JS and TD have filed complaints with the Chilakalapudi police.
