Nalgonda: Tension prevailed in Nampally in Munugode assembly constituency when Congress and BJP activists clashed with each other on Sunday.

Sravanthi lodged a complaint with Superintendent of Police Rema Rajeshwari over phone, and later, speaking to the media, said the persons, who attacked the vehicle were non-local BJP members. When she was going to Nampally for her campaign, two vehicles had not allowed her convoy to overtake them. When questioned, the persons in those vehicles attacked a vehicle in her convoy and thrashed the driver.

The police have rushed additional forces to the place to avoid further escalation of the incident.
