Two TDP workers attempt self-immolation at party meeting in Tadepalligudem

Two Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers allegedly attempted self-immolation by pouring diesel over themselves during a party meeting in Tadepalligudem mandal of Andhra Pradesh, protesting what they described as injustice to party candidate Parimi Ravi Kumar.

The incident reportedly took place during a TDP rural mandal meeting at Venkatramannagudem. The two workers expressed anger over the treatment meted out to Ravi Kumar, the party's candidate from the village, and staged the protest by pouring diesel on their bodies.

The protest was reportedly triggered by their allegation that Ravi Kumar had been treated unfairly despite his commitment to the party. The incident caused concern among those attending the meeting.

Meanwhile, Ravi Kumar expressed disappointment over his electoral defeat, alleging that people whom he had trusted had worked against him and contributed to his loss.

The incident has brought to the fore internal discontent among sections of TDP workers over the candidate's defeat and the circumstances surrounding the election.
