Tension prevailed for a while at Sri Rangaraja Puram mandal headquarters, 40 km from here, on Saturday after some unidentified persons vandalised the statue of the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
According to information, the statue was found damaged with its hand and face slashed with a sharp-edged object. The incident which came to light in the morning soon spread all over G.D. Nellore Assembly Constituency, which is represented by Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayanaswamy. A large number of YSR Congress Party activists rushed to the mandal headquarters and staged a protest by blocking the Chittoor-Puttur highway.
