Former Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Minister Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu on Friday alleged that the YSR Congress Party leaders and Ministers had misbehaved with former Union Minister and TDP leader P. Ashok Gajapathiraju at Ramatheertham on Wednesday.
Releasing a video from Narsipatnam, he said that the treatment meted out Mr. Ashok should be deplored, as the YSRCP leaders had done fully knowing about the background of Mr. Ashok. He hails from the Vizianagaram royal family that has contributed immensely for the development of this region, especially in the field of education and culture, Mr. Ayyanna Patrudu said.
