Kaushik Reddy clash mars double bedroom patta distribution in Kamalapur
In a town called Kamalapur, the government was giving away house documents to poor people who were getting new homes.
A leader named Kaushik Reddy said the houses were built by the old government led by KCR.
Two other leaders, Ponnam Prabhakar and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, disagreed and said the old government left the houses unfinished.
They said the new Congress government paid to finish them and hand them over.
The leaders argued loudly in front of many people.
People supporting both sides started shouting and cheering for their favorite leaders.
Some people tried to rush to the stage, and it got scary for a little while.
Police came and stopped the shouting and kept everyone safe.
After things calmed down, the leaders continued giving out the house documents to the happy families.
In the end, the houses were given to the poor people who needed them.
BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy clashed with Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy during a double bedroom house patta distribution programme in Kamalapur mandal, Hanumakonda district.
Kaushik Reddy claimed the 302 double bedroom houses in Kamalapur town, along with 50 in Gudur and Pelligudem, were built during former CM KCR's tenure.
Ministers countered that the houses were abandoned incomplete by the BRS government and completed and distributed after the Congress government allocated funds.
The heated argument led to sloganeering by both Congress and BRS workers, and police had to intervene to bring the situation under control.
The distribution of sanction documents later resumed, with Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy handing over documents to beneficiaries.
