The police snatched and tore the placards and papers held by the YSRCP MLAs and MLCs. The former Chief Minister confronted the police, questioning who had given them such authority.

The YSRCP legislators expressed displeasure at the behaviour of the police at the Assembly gate. Jaganmohan stated that the high-handedness of police officials would not persist forever and warned them to remember their duty to protect democracy, not to undermine it.

Highlighting the insignia of lions on police caps, Jaganmohan stated that they symbolise the protection of democracy, not its destruction. He questioned the police’s right to seize and tore the papers held by the MLAs and MLCs, demanding accountability for their actions.
