Clashes erupt as rival candidates file nominations in Chandragiri

Tirupati: Violence erupted as candidates of the Telugu Desam and YSRC arrived at the RDO office on Thursday to file their nominations for the Assembly polls in Chandragiri. Tension mounted outside the office when the TD’s candidate Pulivarthi Nani and YSRC's Chevireddy Mohith Reddy reached the RDO office around the same time to the accompaniment of large groups of their supporters. According to eyewitnesses, Nani and his supporters arrived on motorcycles just as vehicles carrying Mohith and his father Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy were leaving the spot after filing the nomination papers. It started when YSRC leader Kalathuru Sekhar Reddy boarded Sanjeevaiah's campaign vehicle and entered into a verbal altercation with NDCCB chairman Kamireddy Satyanarayana Reddy, demanding his resignation from the party.
