Nannapaneni assaulted by Congress supporters

The rivalry between the TDP and Congress took an ugly turn here today with women legislators and one MLC of the TDP being insulted.TDP MLC Nannapaneni Rajakumari was beaten up to the point that she sustained injuries by Congress activists at a meeting here. Further, Satyavedu MLA Syamala, Srungavarapukota MLA Lalita Kumari, Guntur coroporator N Vijayalakshmi, MLC V Rajendra Prasad and Karanam Balaram were also attacked by the Congress activists. Some of them were injured in the attack.
Trouble broke out when one Suresh, who works as a field assistant in the Karamchedu panchayat in charge of NREGP works in the area, filed an SC/ ST atrocity case against Karamchedu village sarpanch Daggubati Anasuya and Daggubati Nageswara Rao besides two others _ Ramana and V Ramudu _ when they came along with a few workers of the NREGP to complain to Daggubati Venkateswara Rao that field assistant Suresh was not paying the workers correctly.
The sarpanch, her followers and the workers had reportedly complained to Daggubati Venkateswara Rao on June 21 that the field assistant was shortchanging the workers besides delaying the payments.But, Suresh, who was present along with Parchur MLA Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, then filed an SC/ST atrocity case against Karamchedu sarpanch Daggubati Anasuya and her husband Daggubati Nageswara Rao, Ramana and V Ramudu, almost two days later, ie on the evening of June 23.The police recently arrested three, except the sarpanch. The TDP sent a fact-finding committee to study the issue.
The committee comprised Rajakumari, Syamala, Lalita Kumari V Rajendra Prasad and Vijayalakshmi besides Karanam Balaram. The committee conducted a meeting in the Karemchedu village today at which Rajakumari allegedly spoke against Parchur MLA Daggubati Venkateswara Rao and alleged that Rao was acting cowardly by getting his aides file cases against the TDP cadre.
A crowd of 400 Congress supporters, standing right outside the place where the TDP commitee was conducting a meeting, suddenly created a scene at the meeting. During the scuffle, one of the supporters even tried to pull Rajakumari’s saree. Rajakumari was injured when she was hit by someone in the mob. Balaram and the other women MLAs too were not spared and were manhandled. The police intervened to bring the situation under control and set up a picket in the village to prevent further tension. Police told Express that the situation, though tense, was completely under control. The police registered a case at the Karamechedu police station.
