As the MLA entered the village in an open-top vehicle, followed by the local TRS workers, irate villagers, mostly Congress supporters, shouted at her and asked her to go back. But within a couple of months becoming the MLA, she joined the TRS betraying our faith,” an angry Congress worker told local reporters. As the Congress workers started pelting stones and chappals at Haripriya, the TRS workers formed a shield around her and saved her from the attack. The shocked MLA got back into her car and left the village, while the TRS workers retaliated by pelting stones back at the Congress workers. “Even during the Congress regime between 2004 and 2009, then chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy poached several TRS MLAs into the Congress,” he pointed out.
