HYDERABAD: BJP Nizamabad MP D Arvind’s visit to Nandipet on Tuesday was marred by violent incidents as protestors set fire to tyres and parked tractors on the road to block the MP’s tour.
Arvind later claimed that his car was damaged in stone pelting by TRS workers, while police resorted to a mild lathicharge to control the protestors at Isanapalli in Nizamabad district. The ruling TRS, however, denied any role in the attack on the MP and said angry turmeric farmers were behind the incident.
