Reacting harshly to the incident, BJP MLC Somu Veerraju said that TDP leaders were unnecessarily indulging in dirty politics, which would turn fatal for their party. He slammed the TDP for sending rowdies to attack his house also. He reminded that the party had met home minister, DGP and Governor in this regard.

He further said that BJP would soon tour the state to inform public as to what their party had contributed to the state's welfare. Fearing that the tour would be successful and TDP would lose its footing, Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu was resorting to such acts, he added.
