VIJAYAWADA: Local BJP leader and the party’s
Vinukonda

M Ramesh
was attacked by
unidentified miscreants
at Vinukonda in Guntur district on Friday.
The assailants attacked Ramesh with sticks, who suffered a hand fracture and injuries on his head. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where his condition is stated to be stable.
Ramesh told police four assailants came on bikes and attacked him from behind with sticks and iron rods while he was going for a morning walk to a nearby park on his bike. As he fell down, the assailants beat him up and fled, leaving him bleeding. The recent controversy over removal of a temple as part of road widening works near Suresh Mahal is said to be the motive behind the attack. Ramesh opposed the removal of the temple and moved the high court and obtained a stay order on road widening works.
