WARANGAL, APRIL 4. TDP activists indulged in violence at the constituency level review meetings in the district here today. At the Mulugu constituency meetings, members of the Chandulal and Seethakka groups clashed resulting in violence, while at the Warangal constituency level meets, different groups accused each other of not cooperating for the victory of the official nominee, G Sudha Rani.

Party workers demanded that the leaders, Donepudi Ramesh Babu, Pola Natraj and Kasturi Prameela, be unseated from the dais during the meeting. The TDP, as part of its review of the exit polls, conducted a test for party workers by supplying question papers and OMR sheets. The questions covered candidates' image among voters, coordination between the parties and TDP and BJP, image of the Lok Sabha candidate, how effective were the cultural troupes, etc.

At the Mahabubabad meeting, the party workers demanded that former MLA Sriram Badraiah be suspended immediately from the party. Similar differences between different groups of the party came to the fore at the Cheriyal and Jangoan constituencies too.
