#Balakrishna needs to be taught a lesson. This is not the first time he raised hand on fans and party people. It is a shame to the people of #Hindupur and #TDP if he is voted back to power. Also, the party guy so beaten up should file a criminal complaint against this creature!

Irrespective of what happened there, it is absolutely NOT acceptable to attack anyone. If a person cannot exercise restraint, should seriously rethink decision to contest for a public office.

#TDP MLA candidate from #Hindupur constituency, #Nandamuri #Balakrishna, brother-in-law of AP CM #NaraChandrababuNaidu, is notorious for his reckless and rude behaviour and sexist comments. He should be disqualified
