Amaravati Police created obstructions to the ongoing Padyatra by the Telegu Desam party called the ‘Yuva Galam Yatra’. The police attacked and grabbed the mike from a TDP activist, Bhasha, who sustained injuries in the incident. The police even attempted to push Lokesh down the bench on which he was standing to address the local party activists. This resulted in a fierce argument between the police and the TDP activists while Lokesh continued his protest by standing on his bench. “What right does the police have to create hurdles in our village and in our protest?”
