Lok Sabha elections 2024: Andhra CM Jagan Mohan Reddy injured in stone pelting incident during Vijayawada road show
PTI, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party chief was attacked by unknown persons. Reddy suffered a small cut on his temple above the eye during his ‘Memanta Siddham’ Lok Sabha poll 2024 canvassing bus tour. "The stone struck the CM while he was acknowledging the crowds as part of his bus tour at Vivekananda School Centre in Singh Nagar, Vijayawada," the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said a statement.
The PTI report said the stone hit the Andhra chief minister at a very high velocity, prompting the people standing around him to apply pressure to his forehead with a handkerchief initially. Officials are suspecting that it could have been launched from a catapult, said the report. Reddy was immediately administered first aid inside the bus by a doctor.
The report further added that he was attended to by a doctor inside the bus as he grimaced from pain. However, unfazed by the stone pelting, Reddy resumed his tour in the city, where he has been canvassing for nearly four hours. YSRCP leaders have alleged Telugu Desam Party's (TDP) involvement in the "attack".
