New Delhi/Hydbad: The suicide by Telangana youth Mandadi Yadi Reddy in the vicinity of Parliament on Wednesday brought the regional tensions in Andhra Pradesh to the national capital with TRS MLA T Harish Rao assaulting an official of the AP Bhavan for having recommended that the last rites of the youth be performed in Delhi itself.The Delhi developments had its fallout back in the state with the pro-Telangana outfits calling for a bandh in the region on Friday in protest against what they called the fascist behaviour of the state government towards Yadi Reddy. K Ramachandra Rao,OSD, accd,in AP Bhavan, was slapped and kicked by Harish Rao for having written a letter to Delhi police commissioner requesting that Yadi Reddys body be not brought to the bhavan and taken directly for cremation.
Yadi Reddy was not an orphan. His mother and brother have come to Delhi to collect the body. How can the state direct that the body be cremated in such circumstances. It is clearly an attempt by the anti-Telangana state government to prevent the TRS and Telangana Congress leaders from paying homage to Yadi Reddy at the AP Bhavan premises, TRS leader B Vinod Kumar told TOI from Delhi. Meanwhile, stunned by the assault on one of their officials,the employees of AP Bhavan went on a flash strike and demanded action against Harish Rao.

AP Bhavan staff protest TRS MLAs actions
A complaint was also lodged with the Tilak Marg police against TRS leaders Harish Rao,E Rajender and Vinod Kumar under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (as Ramachandra Rao belongs to the SC community,and under the relevant IPC sections for attempt to murder,assaulting a government servant while performing his duty,and for disturbing peace and tranquility in government office premises.Later in the evening,the cops registered cases against the three leaders.We will not withdraw the cases, P Kiran Kumar,special officer,AP Information Centre,told TOI.
The Delhi drama began in the morning after a group of TRS leaders including Harish Rao,Sircilla MLA K Tarakarama Rao,Rajender and Vinod Kumar arrived in the Capital and proceeded to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where Yadi Reddys body was kept after post-mortem.In the meantime,Telangana Congress MPs and MLAs,who also arrived in the Capital over the last 24 hours,visited the hospital and offered their homage to Yadi Reddy. After paying their respects,Harish Rao wanted to take the body to AP Bhavan to allow the people to pay their respects,but the Delhi Police personnel at the hospital produced a letter written by the AP Bhavan authorities recommending that the body not be brought to the Ashoka Road premises of the Bhavan and taken to the crematorium instead.
Enraged at this, the TRS leaders stormed into AP Bhavan and Harish Rao assaulted Ramachandra Rao after coming to know that it was he who had written the letter on behalf of resident commissioner Rajat Bhargava.Even as the AP Bhavan staff went on a flash strike in protest against the assault,the TRS leaders as well as those from the Telangana Congress sat on a dharna outside the AP Bhavan main gate.
Accompanied by mother Chandramma and others from the native village,the body of Yadi Reddy in the end came back to Hyderabad.
