The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Thursday, staged a protest in front of Haritha Mixing plant at Damaracharla, allegedly owned by Kadapa Mayor P Ravindranath Reddy, demanding closure of the plant for supplying inferior quality fertilizers to farmers.
The BJP activists were led by senior party leader Bandaru Dattatreya.
The BJP activists made an attempt to brush aside the security and barge into the plant.
Their efforts were foiled by the alert police who took the protestors under custody.
Dattatreya told the activists that the fertilizers, meant for the farmers, were being diverted to the black market.
