BRS office in Guntur vandalised hours after inauguration

Unidentified persons tore down flexi boards and removed the BRS party flags outside the office on Sunday night.

Hyderabad: Less than 24 hours after the new State office of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) was inaugurated in Guntur, unidentified persons tore down flexi boards and removed the party flags outside it during the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. A complaint has been lodged with the police who took up an investigation.

The BRS State office was inaugurated by its Andhra Pradesh president Thota Chandrasekhar in a five-storeyed building near AS Function Hall on the Mangalagiri road in Guntur at around 11.35 am on Sunday. On the occasion, Chandrasekhar minced no words in lashing out against all the Opposition parties. The party members suspect that the members of rival parties might have resorted to such an attack as they were unable to digest the remarks made by Chandrasekhar and also the response being received by the party in Andhra Pradesh.
