Eggs thrown at Chiranjeevi after his comments on Narendra Modi

Machilipatnam, AP: Some BJP supporters allegedly hurled eggs at union minister and Andhra Pradesh Congress election campaign committee chief K Chiranjeevi during a public meeting in Machilipatnam on Friday after his remarks against Narendra Modi

Targetting BJP's prime ministerial candidate over his remark that "Congress-free India is need of the hour", Chiranjeevi said, "No one can root out the Congress from the country and many parties which tried to do so have perished. The people will never forget the work Congress has done for the country. BJP, TDP and YSR Congress party cannot harm the Congress."

People are well aware of who is responsible for the division of Andhra Pradesh and the BJP, TDP and YSR Congress parties should own up the responsibility for it, he added.

The Congress leader said that in Andhra Pradesh, although senior leaders left the party, the young and fresh leaders would work wonders in the Lok Sabha as well as assembly polls in the state.

He accused the TDP and YSR Congress Party of spending a lot of money to ensure victory in the elections.

Besides Mr Modi, Chiranjeevi also criticised Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu.
