YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) student wing State secretary Hajji was injured in an attack with knives and other lethal weapons by six persons, alleged to be the followers of Nellore MLA Anil Kumar Yadav, here late on May 19 (Friday).
On a complaint from Mr. Hajji, who was admitted to the Government General Hospital with bleeding injuries on the head by the local residents, the police registered a case of attempt to murder and began probe.
The incident brought to the fore groupism in the ruling party, which had already been gripped by dissidence with three of its MLAs raising a banner of revolt in the undivided Nellore district, where the ruling party bagged all the 10 Assembly seats in 2019.
