Shadnagar: Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, who was on his way to Kurnool stopped at Shadnagar to meet the TDP activists. The Shadnagar police laid strict police cordon and prevented the TDP activists from meeting Babu.

The police, who was notified about the meeting organised by TDP activists to meet Babu, conducted early arrests of key TDP leaders like Bakka Narasimhulu, TDP National Committee member. The police asked Babu to leave for Kurnool. "There was no permission given for the meeting between Chandrababu and TDP members.
