BRS youth wing leader B Santhosh Reddy received injury on his leg in the incident. He has been shifted to a hospital in the town for treatment. The BRS leaders returned without visiting Manchikantinagar.
BRS MLA Jagadish Reddy alleged that police watched as silent spectators when a group of persons attacked their vehicles.
Reacting on the incident in “X”, BRS working president K.T Rama Rao said the attack highlighted the intolerance of the Congress leaders. He questioned as to whether distributing groceries to flood-affected people is wrong, he questioned.
He held Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy responsible for the attack on BRS leaders at Khammam.
