AP: Pro-Telangana activists attack CPM MLA's car

Hyderabad, Feb 21: A group of pro-Telangana activists attacked the vehicle of CPM MLA J Ranga Reddy on Sunday, Feb 21, police said.

According to police, the pro-Telangana activists, among scores of students attacked Ranga Reddy's car, demanding that he should resign in support of separate Telangana state.
