BJP leader hit by slipper during TV debate by an Amaravati activist | Citizens Bee

Amaravati: During a live debate on Telugu news channel, a BJP leader was assaulted by a panelist with a slipper.

On Tuesday night, there was a political debate in which an activist working against the trifurcation of Amaravati removed his slipper and hit BJP’s Andhra Pradesh general secretary Vishnu Vardhan Reddy.

The activist was Kolikapudi Srinivas Rao, who was panelist during the debate. The incident occurred after a verbal duel over some comments made by Reddy on former chief ministers.

Rao, who was enraged by remarks of Reddy, fired back by saying that he was talking “nonsense”. To which Reddy replied by warning Rao to not cross limits. But he said that he will repeat the “nonsense” word 100 times.

As the debate moved forward, it took an ugly turn, when Reddy accused Rao that he should wear a Telugu Desam Party(TDP) flag and then debate, this was his hinting that he was a TDP supporter.

“Wear a TDP flag and talk or go and work in the TDP office. Who are you? Who are you to ask me? Should I do your paid artist job?” fumed Reddy.

Rao was infuriated by remark of “paid artist”, he removed is slipper and struck Reddy on his face and questioned him “who is paid artist?”

Those opposing Amaravati’s trifurcation are termed as “paid artists” by their political opponents, who allege that they are opposing trifurcation as the land value in Amaravati region will plummet.
