The YSRCP chief was attacked by a waiter when he was waiting at the Vizag airport lounge sometime back. The waiter, who attacked YS Jagan with a sharp knife, has been identified as Srinivas. He is also a close associate of airport canteen contractor Harshvardhan, an aspirant for the TDP Gajuwaka seat.

The YSRCP has called the attack a 'well planned murder' and demanded that the AP government explain the security lapse which could have cost the life of the AP Leader of Opposition.
