Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) senior leader Challa Venkateswara Rao rammed his car into police barricades at a nomination centre in Srikakulam on Sunday, injuring police officials.
Mr. Venkateswara Rao had a heated argument with police personnel after they refused to allow his car to enter the nomination centre.
Mr. Venkateswara who intended to contest as a corporator in the election scheduled to be held on November 26, 2026 argued with the police personnel that he is a physically challenged person and cannot walk long distances.
When he was denied permission, he forcibly drove his car into the barricades. A circle inspector and two sub inspectors standing near the barricades fell down and sustained multiple injuries. Police have registered a case against the BJP leader.
