The Chief Minister sustained an injury to his left eyebrow, while MLA Vellampalli suffered injuries to his left eye.

Both leaders received immediate first-aid treatment on the bus.

Despite the attack, CM Jagan continued his journey afterward.

YSRCP sources alleged that the Telugu Desam Party workers were involved in the attack, said media reports.

The party later wrote on its handle, "It was Chandrababu who attacked our leader CM @ysjagan with green goons in Vijayawada. It was a cowardly act of cowardice by all of us @JaiTDP who could not bear the unprecedented popularity of the Saaraya Yatra. Statewide."

విజయవాడలో మన నాయకుడు సీఎం @ysjagan గారిపై పచ్చ గూండాలతో దాడి చేయించిన చంద్రబాబు.

ఇది మేమంతా సిద్ధం యాత్రకు వస్తున్న అపూర్వ ప్రజాదరణను చూసి ఓర్వలేక @JaiTDP పచ్చమూకలు చేసిన పిరికిపంద చర్య.

రాష్ట్రవ్యాప్తంగా @YSRCParty కార్యకర్తలు అందరూ సంయమనం పాటించండి.. దీనికి రాష్ట్ర ప్రజలందరూ… pic.twitter.com/kqfWhkc7Nq
