Telugu TV channels repeatedly showed clippings of attack on the Lok Satta Chief Jayaprakash Narayana at the Media Point in the assembly premises today. The clippings showed Mr

Mallesh, car driver of TRS MLA Etela Rajender, raising his hand over JP after TRS MLAs pushed the Lok Satta leader mercilessly.
Mr Mallesh was shown raising his hand after KTR, another MLA and son of TRS chief KCR, made a provoking speech against JP.

It is now learnt that senior congress MLC Mr Paladugu Venkat rao tried to prevent the attack on JP but the attackers pushed away Venkat rao also resulting in his hospitalization. Venkat rao recently had a surgery and the jostling and pushing caused him severe pain.

Meanwhile, TRS MLAs Sravan and Jagadeeswara reddy criticised JP alleging that he was trying to axe the fulfillment of the wishes of the Telangana people by his comments. Speaking at a media conference after the attack on JP, they said that government should take full responsibility for today’s happenings in the assembly premises.
