Former minister Dharmana Prasada Rao faced the ire of Samaikhyandhra agitators during a protest in Srikakulam on Friday evening.

As Dharmana began addressing at the gathering, pro-United AP activists demanded that he resign from his post first and later continue with his speech.

Tension prevailed when Dharmana made it clear that he will not resign. However, the timely intervention of the police minimised the tension.
