Nizamabad: The inaugural function of a women’s committee building on Saturday resulted in a clash between two groups of TRS leaders. Nizamabad (Rural) MLA Bajireddi Goverdhan and local bodies MLC R Bhoopathi Reddy had heated arguments as the photo of the MLC was missing on the flexi.

Speaking to the media in the town, Dasari Ganesh, a supporter of Bhoopathi Reddy and a native of Talla Rampoor village said that Nizamabad (Rural) MLA Bajireddi and MLC Bhoopathi Reddy came to participate in the inaugural programme at Kalooru village of Nizamabad mandal in the district.
On the occasion, TRS activists and a Bhoopathi Reddy follower, Kumar raised the issue of the non-inclusion of his leader’s Bhoopathi Reddy photo on the flexi and told the mandal party president Santosh that it was an insult to their leader.
