Students beat Nagam with chappals, hound out TDP leaders

Share

Agitated students of Osmania University attacked and hounded out Telugu Desam Party leaders from Telangana, in protest against the party’s volte face on Telangana issue, that led to the Central government change its stand. Senior TDP leaders Nagam Janardhan Reddy, Kadiam Srihari, E Dayakar Rao and others went to Osmania University to express their solidarity with the striking students, who were hurt in the police lathicharge on them. On seeing the TDP leaders, the students got agitated further and gheraoed them, demanding that they all come out of the TDP to express their support for Telangana. The students attacked 20 cars of the TDP leaders and their followers, damaged them with stones and turned them upside down. While the students spared Srihari and Dayakar Rao, they targeted sturdy Nagam Janardhan Reddy, who they alleged, was acting like a stooge of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu. They beat him with chappals and as he started leaving the place, they chased him. Being a hefty personality, Nagam could not run further and fell down on the road. As he lost consciousness, he was taken to Kamineni Hospital on a motor bike. Others had left the place with a lot of insult. TDP leaders Mothkupalli Narsimhulu and Devender Goud condemned the attack on the TDP leaders, stating that it was the handiwork of some anti-social elements and not the genuine students.
