The cold war between Jangaon MLA Muthireddy Yadagiri Reddy and District Collector Devasena Sri appears to be worsening with each passing day.
In the latest incident, the MLA asked the Collector to organize the Saddula Bathukamma celebrations at the controversial Bathukamma Kunta, but the Collector arranged them at another venue. Irked by the Collector's action, the MLA lodged a complaint with the police against her.
It may be mentioned here that Devasena had alleged a couple of days ago that a five-acre land at Bathukamma Kunta had been encroached upon by the MLA. Reacting to the allegation, Muthireddy had lodged a complaint against her with the Chief Secretary stating that he was ready to face any punishment if found guilty.
