The TDP leader's kin and followers immediately took him to a nearby hospital. His condition is said to be stable and is under observation.

Further details are awaited.

Elections to the 175-member Andhra Pradesh Assembly are scheduled to be held on April 11 simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.
