As the polling for the Lok Sabha fourth phase is underway on Monday, a video of Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy’s party, YSRCP MLA VS Shivakumar, assaulting a voter at a polling booth in Guntur is making the rounds on the social media platform.
In the video, the MLA approaches the man during a heated argument and eventually begins slapping him. The voter responds by also striking and hitting Shivakumar. Following this, the MLA's supporters started attacking the voter.
The video was reshared by Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who labelled the video as Reddy's party MLA’s “arrogance & goondagardi".
Poonawala further wrote, “VVIP arrogance & goondagardi on full display. YSRCP MLA A Sivakumar slaps voter in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur. Telangana Congress neta kicks voter. Congress’ Randeep Surjewala once said Janta is Rakshas !. If this is how they are treating voters at the polling booth imagine what they will do post-election. Time to kick these parties and netas out!”
