He directed the Telangana wing of the Jana Sena Party to visit Chilkur, offer support to Rangarajan, and assure him of their solidarity during this challenging time.
The attack on Rangarajan has drawn widespread condemnation from various quarters, with many viewing it as an attack on the broader efforts to protect and uphold dharma. Authorities have been urged to take swift action to prevent such incidents in the future.
