While addressing a gathering, during which he spoke of the development programmes he had undertaken in his constituency, some TRS members began shouting slogans against the Congress party.
Soon enough, Congress members at the meeting confronted them. Things got ugly when they attacked the TRS members with plastic chairs. Uttam Kumar Reddy tried to intervene, but the hotheaded Congressmen refused to stop.
Elsewhere, learning of this incident, furious TRS members from the village tried to attack Congress workers who had come to attend a campaign meeting by the party’s candidate from Chinthalapally ZPTC, Lakavath Rama Rao. Police dispersed the unruly mob and deployed heavy security in the thanda.
