Hyderabad: Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) activists Wednesday attacked a convoy of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders who were on their way to an Andhra Pradesh town to attend a meeting on the Telangana issue, police said.
Two constables were injured as police intervened to protect TDP leaders when their convoy was attacked by TRS activists at Ibrahimnagar in Medak district.
Senior leaders of the main opposition party were going to Karimnagar to address a public meeting to demand separate statehood to Telangana. Raising slogans against TDP leaders, the TRS workers stopped the convoy by cutting trees and placing them on the road.
Windowpanes of five cars, including that TDP leader Revant Reddy, were damaged. The TRS activists were demanding that the TDP leaders fight for Telangana only after giving up the party flag.
Police officials later escorted TDP leaders, including E. Dayakar Rao, Devender Goud, M. Narasimhulu and Revant Reddy, to Karimnagar with heavy security
