Mild tension prevails as BJP, TRS activists clash in Jagitial

Police rushed to the spot and dispersed the crowd

Jagitial: Mild tension prevailed in Gollapalli mandal on Wednesday when activists of BJP and TRS clashed with each other during Welfare Minister Koppula Eashwar’s visit.

BJP leaders put up a flexie banner at the bus stand highlighting the developmental programmes implemented by the Union government. Officials removed the flexie and this enraged BJP workers who staged a dharna at the MPDO office on Tuesday.

Police rushed to the spot and dispersed the clashing groups. Some BJP leaders were taken into custody and shifted to the police station.
