Tenali MLA Annabattula Shivakumar, who came to the spotlight after allegedly manhandling a voter in a polling booth said that the man in question has made cateist comments against him, which lead to the brawl.
“The man in question was drunk, was creating nuisance, and was abusing me and my wife. He accused me of supporting the BC, SC, ST, and Minority communities despite being a Kamma. I got enraged over his baseless accusations and yellow media blew the incident out of proportion without knowing the context. He made some very shocking casteist remarks which were totally unacceptable to me,”said Shivakumar.
