  • Thousands of YSRCP supporters joined his convoy on two-wheelers, overwhelming security arrangements and prompting police to set up 25 checkposts.
  • A 55-year-old man, Cheeli Singaiah, died after being struck by a vehicle in the convoy and another attendee later collapsed and died in Sattenapalli.
  • Authorities have filed cases against several YSRCP leaders for violating visit conditions, traffic rules and public order, and arrested a party worker over objectionable placards.
  • Jagan accused Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s government of replacing development with political revenge by using police to target opponents.
