The full story

During Andhra Pradesh urban local body elections on November 1, 2026, clashes and stone-pelting broke out between workers of the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Pulivendula, Kadapa district. Incidents included attacks on candidates, obstruction of voters, and vandalism of vehicles. YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy staged a sit-in protest outside the Returning Officer's office after officials reportedly prevented him from entering to raise concerns, demanding a repoll in the town. Police intervened to disperse crowds and deployed around 1,000 personnel with surveillance equipment in the area to restore order, while officials noted that polling elsewhere in the state remained mostly peaceful.
