Ministers of the ruling party had to face the ire of locals during their participation in several government sponsored programmes at Atmakur town in Nellore District on Friday.
A firecracker that was set off by party workers during the arrival of ministers triggered an explosive near the convoy. A woman was seriously injured in the explosion. She was rushed to a hospital.
The local people expressed anger at the ministers and obstructed their convoy.
The situation became tense and with the police intervention the convoy left from the spot.
Revenue Minister N Raghuveera Reddy, Finance Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy and Social Welfare Minister Pithani Satyanarayana participated in several welfare programmes held in the district.
