TDP leaders arrested in Tirupati

High tension in Tirupati has begun, as police have apprehended several TDP leaders who were planning to take out a ‘Dharma Parirakshana Yatra’ to protest against the vandalization of Hindu temples. The police arrested several leaders including AP TDP chief Kinjarapu Atchannaidu. However, the AP TDP Chief made it clear that the ‘Dharma Parirakshana Yatra’ would continue no matter what, despite the hurdles and roadblocks they face from the ruling party. He went onto say that house arrests and police deployment will not deter them from taking out the yatra. Atchannaidu lambasted the police for arresting TDP leaders under violation of rules even before having initiated the public rally.
