Leading a silent protest rally by TDP functionaries in Nandyal town, Minister for Agriculture Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy feared a conspiracy behind YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s repeated remarks to “gun down and hang the Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu” during his electioneering for the Nandyal byelection.
Suspecting that the YSRCP president planned to get Nandyal byelection postponed like the R.K. Nagar byelection in Tamil Nadu, he said it would not materialise, Mr. Chandramohan Reddy asserted while flagging off a silent protest rally from N.T. Rama Rao statue near Balaji Complex in Nandyal.
The rallyists who tied black ribbons around their mouth carried banners which read “beware of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy who is dreaming of becoming Chief Minister” and “get mental check-up done for Mr. Jagan”.

Suspecting that the YSRC leaders planned to vitiate the atmosphere and breach peace in a bid to get the byelection postponed, Mr. Somireddy urged the partymen and sympathisers not to get perturbed. The rally passed through Srinivasa Centre and Sanjeevanagar Gate to the TDP office at Chamakalva.
