It's a planned attack

YSRCP MLA Roja said that when someone of the stature of Leader of Opposition could be attacked openly in a public place such as an airport which is a highly secure area, one could well imagine the fate of common citizens in Andhra Pradesh. This knife attack was clearly aimed at the YSRCP chief's life and that it was a planned one.
An eyewitness said that YS Jagan escaped a major attack only because he turned just in time.
It is being suspected that the knife was laced with poisonous substance. The police took the waiter Srinivas into custody. Incidentally, it was pointed out that the canteen is run by a contractor Harshavardhan, who tried for the Telugu Desam ticket for Gajuwaka constituency.
