Simmering animosity between the followers of former MLAs Vangaveeti Radha Krishna and Malladi Vishnu erupted at the training classes being organised by the YSR Congress Party here on Wednesday.
The party has been conducting training classes for activists for the past three days.
As per the party norms, the leaders concerned had to be called on to the dais while resource persons delivered their lectures. While Mr. Radha Krishna was invited, Mr. Vishnu was left sitting in the audience. This continued until the followers of Mr. Vishnu had stalled the classes demanding that their leader be invited on to the dais. As sloganeering disrupted the meeting, the organisers realising their folly requested Mr. Vishnu to get on to the dais, but he refused to do so.
