The cause for the protests was objectionable remarks made by his son Nara Lokesh recently.
Minister Adimoolapu Suresh who led the demonstrations said that Chandrababu did little for the district and it was Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy led government which completed the Veligonda project. He said the protests were made in a peaceful manner.
However, with the protesters gathering in large numbers, there was tension in Yerragondapalem which prompted the police deploying additional forces and the NSG also appearing on the scene to beef up security for the TDP president.
