Protests against the ruling Congress broke out in parts of Andhra Pradesh Monday after late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy resignation from the party and from parliament.

Supporters of Jaganmohan Reddy, who represented the Lok Sabha's Kadapa constituency, attacked Congress offices in Kadapa, Anantapur and Chittoor districts while dozens of lower-rank Congress leaders resigned from the party.

Raising slogans against the Congress, supporters of Jaganmohan Reddy, popularly known as Jagan, attacked the Congress office in Anantapur and tore posters of party president Sonia Gandhi. Carrying pictures of Rajasekhara Reddy and Jagan, protesters also damaged the Congress office in Kadapa.

They were seen beating pictures of Gandhi with footwear. The supporters of the young leader also set afire pictures of party leaders and trampled upon the party flag at Tirupati.
