Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has been attacked with stones while campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. Reddy was doing ‘Memantha Siddham’ road show in Vijayawada on Saturday. Meanwhile, flowers were also thrown on them. Someone threw a stone between these flowers which went straight and hit the Chief Minister on the forehead. The chief minister was injured due to stone pelting and blood started to flow from his forehead. His security personnel present in the bus immediately gave first aid.
There is no information yet on who threw the stone and why. According to the YSRCP, an unknown person threw a stone along with flowers at the Chief Minister, which injured him above his left eye. However, after the first aid, the CM has once again started doing road shows.
YSR Congress blamed TDP
After the attack on the Chief Minister, the YSR Congress Party has blamed the TDP for the incident.
In a tweet on social media, the party said, Chandrababu Naidu has deployed his goons to attack our Chief Minister in Vijayawada. TDP people are not able to tolerate the popularity of CM Reddy’s visit. The people of the state will answer this on May 13.
CM Reddy is holding a huge rally regarding the Lok Sabha elections. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSR Congress is alone in this election. Along with this, BJP has an alliance with TDP. After 6 years, TDP has once again joined hands with BJP and is contesting elections together. Assembly elections are being held in Andhra Pradesh along with the Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, CM Reddy is holding rallies.
