Asifabad district witnessed serious post-election unrest following the municipal elections. Vinod, a rebel candidate who contested on a BRS symbol after being denied a Congress ticket, won the Ward 1 seat. Immediately after the results were declared, local Congress leaders allegedly forcibly took Vinod into an auto, sparking outrage among residents. Video footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media, raising concerns about political intimidation in the district.
BRS party cadres condemned the incident, claiming it was an attempt by Congress to destabilize the municipal board and pressure their victorious candidate to switch allegiance. Party officials stated that such coercive actions undermine democratic processes and create fear among elected representatives. The situation has heightened political tensions in Asifabad, with local authorities urged to investigate the matter and ensure the safety of elected officials.
