In Pithapuram Assembly constituency, tension arose within the TDP-JSP alliance as former legislator S.V.S.N. Varma accused JSP supporters, led by MP-elect Tangella Uday Srinivas, of attempting to harm him. The alleged attack occurred during a convoy trip to thank supporters for JSP leader Pawan Kalyan’s victory. Varma claimed the assailants, former TDP members now in JSP, targeted him with bricks and bottles. Kakinada SP cited political differences as a likely motive. The incident prompted police deployment in the area, signaling strains within the alliance. Efforts to contact Uday Srinivas for comment were unsuccessful.
