23 TDP leaders surrender

Staff Reporter

VIJAYAWADA: Some 23 TDP leaders surrendered before the Governorpet police on Sunday following registration of bailable cases against them under Section 153-A of the Indian Penal Code for taking out a procession portraying Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in an "objectionable" manner on October 19.

Among those who surrendered were party urban president and former MP Gadde Rammohan, vice-president Nagul Meera and others.

The TDP leaders took out a rally to protest against the Chief Minister's role in the Gouru Venkata Reddy case and Outer Ring Road project. But the Congress leaders objected to the manner in which a Dalit, who was portrayed as the Chief Minister, was symbolically beaten.
