All political parties demanded the arrest of Tungathurthi MLA Gadari Kishore for his comments against Madiga. The Congress party, BJP, YSRTP, BSP, DSP, TJS, CPI, CPM, New Democracy and MRPS all organised a protest rally in Tirumalagiri mandal center. However, the police stopped them and arrested the protestors, including Congress spokesperson Adnaki Dayakar. YSR TP president Sharmila was pre-arrested in Hyderabad, while BJP leader Kadiam Ramachandraiah was arrested in Tungaturthi itself. Leaders and workers of various parties who reached Tirumalagiri were also detained by the local police and taken to police stations.
Leaders alleged that MLA Gadari Kishore has become an unconstitutional force in the constituency, and they said that the people would teach him a proper lesson in the upcoming elections for his anarchy. Leaders of various parties participated in the protest programme, including YSRTP leader Epuri Somanna, former Congress MLA Gudipati Narasiah, DCC president Cheviti Venkanna, leaders Gnaneshwar and Nagarigari Preetham.
