Enraged by his comments, BJP workers burnt the effigy of the MLA at Metpalli old bus stand. Trouble erupted when TRS activists rushed to the spot to prevent the BJP workers from burning the effigy.

On coming to know about the incident, police rushed to the spot and tried to bring the situation under control by barricading the area. The two groups, however, continued to attack each other. A few persons from both the groups and a constable suffered minor injuries before the police brought the situation under control.
