Tension prevailed near the Andhra Pradesh assembly on the first day of the monsoon session on Thursday as Telugu Yuvatha and Telugu Nadu Students Federation Workers tried to besiege the assembly demanding to release the notification of 2.3 lakh government jobs as promised by the YSRCP government ahead of the 2019 Assembly elections in the state. 

In a tweet, news agency ANI said, "Clash broke out between Police & Telugu Nadu Students Federation Workers after they tried to besiege the Assembly demanding placement." 

Telugu Yuvatha State President Sriram Chinababu, Telugu Nadu Students Federation (TNSF) State President Pranav Gopal, Telugu Yuvatha State General Secretary Ravi Naidu and other leaders were stopped by the police at the Velagapudi check post while they were marching towards the Assembly.

A scuffle broke out between the police and the ranks of Telugu Yuvatha. The police dragged the students and detained them. In the scuffle, many student leaders were injured. The AP Monsoon Assembly Session would last for five days.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, the TDP leaders mobbed the Speaker's podium holding placards and raising slogans about the increase in unemployment rate in the state.

Meanwhile, RK Roja, the minister of tourism and youth empowerment, criticised TDP leader and opposition leader N Chandrababu Naidu, claiming that he had no authority to discuss the unemployment problem. She claimed that the TDP was causing an unnecessary commotion in the House rather than debating matters of concern to the general public. She claimed that they were apparently concerned with politics and had no regard for the public welfare.
