BJP and Congress party workers clashed in Hyderabad on Wednesday, leaving two people injured [1].

The violence occurred during the Chalo Raj Bhavan protest, highlighting the volatile nature of political tensions between the two major parties in the region.

The confrontation took place near the BJP state headquarters. According to reports, the clash resulted in two injuries [1]. Among those hurt was a woman police constable [1].

Violence also extended to members of the press. A senior journalist was struck on the head by a stone during the unrest [2]. The incident occurred as cadres from both the BJP and Congress engaged in physical altercations, a development that complicated efforts by local law enforcement to maintain order.

Security forces were deployed to the area to disperse the crowds and prevent further escalation. The Chalo Raj Bhavan protest was intended as a demonstration against the Raj Bhavan, but the gathering devolved into violence as party supporters faced off in the streets [1], [2].

Authorities have not yet released the full identities of the injured parties. The strike on the journalist has drawn attention to the risks faced by media professionals covering political protests in the city [2].

“Two people were injured and a journalist was struck by a stone.”

This clash demonstrates the fragility of public order during high-stakes political mobilizations in Hyderabad. The injury of a police officer and the targeting of a journalist suggest that party-driven volatility can quickly override security protocols, potentially deterring press coverage of future protests.
