The main opposition Telugu Desam party demanded that the statue of former legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, which had been taken down in Guntur due to a lack of authorization, be put back in place. They have started a protest against this. They claimed that the SP had treated the legendary singer SP Balu disrespectfully. In front of the Guntur Municipal Corporation office, they demonstrated. The organiser of the event, Mannava Mohanakrishna, the TDP leader of the Guntur West constituency, claimed that under the guise of these initiatives, the present government has been deceiving the populace. He has demanded that the SP Balasubrahmanyam statue be put up at the Naz Center right away.
