When praising the TRS government and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for various development and welfare programmes undertaken in the state, the minister had to face the wrath of some members at the 'Reddy Simha Garjana'.
Some members at the gathering interrupted the minister's speech, hurled shoes, stones, and chairs at the convoy, forcing him to leave the meeting early. Police had a difficult time taking the minister to safety and prevented those who were chasing his vehicle.
Malla Reddy later blamed Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief Revanth Reddy for the attacks and added that he would not be cowed down by such incidents.
