Telugu Desam Party followers reportedly attacked the journalists who went to cover the program of Minister Akhila Priya and Nandyal MLA Bhuma Brahmananda Reddy. The TDP leaders were participating in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations along with a meet and greet at a Pandal in Guntur on Wednesday. As per the reports, four video journalists were injured in the attack.

The video journalists went to cover the program upon the information given by TDP’s Chitti Babu only to be heckled by the followers of the ruling party, when the Tourism Minister Akhila Priya was addressing the media. They not only pushed the journalists forcefully but allegedly used expletives. They were soon dispersed by the police and other TDP leaders.

Following the incident, the journalists boycotted the coverage and lodged a complaint in Arundelpeta police station.
