Watch: Ruckus breaks out after Jagan Reddy's portrait replaces Chandrababu Naidu’s at Vijayawada Municipal Council hall

In an unprecedented incident, a ruckus broke out during a council meeting at the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation after pictures of TDP leaders NT Rama Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu were replaced with pictures of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the council hall on Saturday.

With the Andhra Pradesh government being won by YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy against Chandrababu Naidu's TDP in both Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, the portraits of former CM Naidu and NTR were being removed from the council hall by the corporation officials ahead of the council meeting. 

Seeing this, Vijayawada mayor Koneru Sridhar became furious and he pulled up the officials for changing the portraits. Hitting out at the Mayor's reaction, YSRCP councillors staged protests at the mayor's podium, as per the visuals posted by news agency ANI.
