Janasena, TDP workers clash over control of temple management committee in Andhra Pradesh village

Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 9 (ANI): Janasena and Telugu Desam Party workers clashed with both trying to have control over the management committee of the Aparna Devi temple in Tadiparthi village at Kakinada district on Sunday. The Janasena, TDP and BJP are allies.

One of the villagers stated that they have supported Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan 150 percent out of 100 and played a part in his victory as part of the alliance commitment.

"After the announcement of results, the past administrators of the temple handed over the responsibilities to the Janasena cadre. We condemn this and believe it should be stopped, and the keys should be handed over to the village head. A meeting should be held to decide who will be in the administrative wing," the villager said.

The administration of the temple was earlier handled by the YSRCP government led by Jagan Reddy.
