Police entered Gandhi Bhavan and are speaking to the protesting NSUI members.

Ever since the AICC issued orders on Venkat Swamy’s appointment as NSUI president on August 13, there has been uproar from within the party.

Taking serious objection to Swamy’s appointment, student unions members here had also appealed to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to cancel his appointment.

Nativity details, including the Voter ID card of Venkat Swamy, in which it is mentioned that he is a resident of Chinna Kothapalli, Bapatla of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, were posted on different social media platforms in the past. Venkat Swamy was sworn in as NSUI State president.

Now, the NSUI members have intensified their demand and staged a protest at Gandhi Bhavan.
