Minister For Higher Education and Agriculture Damodar Raja Narasimha's convoy was attacked by Telangana students in the Ranga Reddy district on Monday.
The Telangana Congress minister was on his way back to Hyderabad after visiting the Ananthagiri temple, when Telangana agitators blocked the main road and raised slogans of "Jai Telangana".
When Damodar's convoy attempted to move, the students resorted to hurling stones at the vehicles.
The Telangana students demand that the minister resign from his ministerial post for the cause of Telangana. The agitators reportedly charged that all the ministers were pre-occupied enjoying the luxuries that come with a ministerial berth, and lamented that no politico was truly fighting for the Telangana statehood.
This is not the first time that students have tried to bully ministers for not tendering their resignation letters.
Union Petroleum And Natural Gas Minister Jaipal Reddy and state Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy had eggs hurled at them by Ranga Reddy students in April 2011. The ministers were targeted by the students for not submitting their resignations in favour of Telangana statehood.
