In a concerning incident amidst the election fervor in Andhra Pradesh, Janasena party leader Pawan Kalyan narrowly escaped injury when an unidentified individual threw a stone at him during his campaign rally in Tenali, Guntur district. The stone, however, missed Kalyan and instead struck a staff member. The incident occurred in broad daylight, causing a moment of chaos among the supporters.
Pawan Kalyan, who was campaigning on the Varahi vehicle along with key party leader Nadendla Manohar and others, was reportedly targeted by the assailant from the crowd. Thankfully, the stone veered off, sparing Kalyan but hitting one of his staff members instead. This sudden attack disrupted the rally briefly.
The local Janasena workers quickly apprehended the assailant and handed him over to the police. It happened around 6 PM, allowing for quick action.

The police have taken the assailant into custody for further investigation.
This event has stirred significant concern about the safety of political figures during the intense and often divisive election campaigns in the region.
