‘Garbage War’ in Andhra Pradesh: TDP Cadres Dump Trash at YSRCP Mayor Suresh Babu’s Kadapa House; Video Surfaces

A political clash between Andhra Pradesh’s ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) intensified over a new garbage tax rule. Tensions escalated after TDP cadres, alongside residents, dumped garbage bags outside the official residence of YSRCP Mayor Suresh Babu in Kadapa. This protest was in response to the mayor’s directive that garbage would only be collected if the tax was paid. TDP MLA Medhavi Reddy had urged residents to boycott the tax, leading to the confrontation. YSRCP workers quickly retaliated, protesting at Chinna Chowk police station and demanding the arrest of TDP leaders. The dispute has led to a heated exchange between Reddy and Babu over the ongoing garbage pileup. Andhra Pradesh: Devotees from Pune Adorned in 25 Kg of Gold Visit Tirumala's Venkateswara Temple; Video Surfaces.
