The opposition leader, Nara Lokesh, strongly condemned the incident. He criticised the behaviour of the senior minister and recalled how another minister during the Chief Minister's Vizag visit had also abused an on-duty cop. "Ministers themselves abusing and threatening the police is proof of anarchic rule," Lokesh said.
