The chief minister was hit by the stone on the left side of his head in Vijayawada on Saturday night while canvassing.
The stone was allegedly hurled by some unknown persons at high speed, leading to a small cut.
YSRCP General Secretary S Ramakrishna Reddy claimed that the attack was a pre-meditated cold-blooded attack on the CM. "Who would have planned such an attempt? It stems from the insecurity that the TDP is experiencing as they are witnessing the response our leader is getting through the poll campaign, through the roadshows and 'siddham sabhas' (meetings)," he said, addressing a press conference.
Ramakrishna alleged that TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu had recently instigated the crowd in his 'prajagalam' (canvassing) meetings to attack Jagan Reddy, and claimed that Naidu and his party would benefit if the YSRCP chief could not mingle with the masses.
