Tension rose on Monday at the B. R. Ambedkar statue located in Devaruppula Mandal headquarters in Jangaon district.
Former minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao visited the statue to place a garland and pay tribute on the occasion of B. R. Ambedkar’s birth anniversary.
However, police stopped Errabelli from entering the area around the statue. They instructed him not to go near the statue, which led to a brief tense situation.
