TRS MLA Rohit Reddy and MLC P Mahender Reddy argued with each other in public today.
Interestingly, the argument took place in the presence of education minister Sabitha Indra Reddy.
The incident took place during the ceremony to distribute mosquito fogging machines sanctioned through the DMFT funds, at Tandur.
The supporters of Mahender Reddy alleged that the local municipal chairperson and councillors had not been invited to the function. They sought an explanation from the authorities concerned on the issue.
However, the supporters of Rohit Reddy countered the objections.
This led to an argument between Rohit Reddy and Mahender Reddy on the dais. The police needed to step in to pacify the supporters of the two groups.
The minister too intervened to broker a peace, and also asked the officials to inform all public representatives about all official programs as per protocol.
