Overview
- A lorry made contact with the rear door of BRS working president KT Rama Rao’s car while the door was being opened at a roadside reception in Karimnagar, police reported.
- Authorities said the lorry was moving slowly, the driver did not see the open door, the car door suffered minor damage, and KTR was inside the vehicle and unhurt.
- The stop was a party reception where BRS workers used a crane to present a garland and women tied rakhis to KTR before he returned to his car.
- KTR carried on with his planned programme and proceeded to Karimnagar to join a BRS protest alleging the state government failed to meet promises to youth.
- The incident highlights safety risks when roadside political receptions, supporters and through traffic mix and may prompt calls for tighter crowd and convoy coordination.
