BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamalakar who visited Thota Agaiah’s house after the attack along with the MLAs Rasamai Balakishan and Sunke Ravishankar, said he went to his house not as a State Minister but as a party worker and a family member. 

Gangula Kamalakar found fault with the BJP saying due to the dissent in the party, people are joining the ruling TRS party and the BJP leaders who cannot digest this fact are allegedly resorting to attacks on turncoats. He added a person named Gopi with a knife in his hand and a few BJP members armed with sticks had come to attack the party leader’s house. Enraged over BJP’s attack, the BC Welfare Minister warned the saffron party against any attack on TRS leaders saying it would have serious consequences.
