The ongoing ward of words between the Telugu Desam Party and the Bharatiya Jana Party is turning personal with rival leaders making unsparing attacks on each other. Ever since he became President of BJP AP unit, Kanna Lakshminarayana has started criticising every move of TDP chief and AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu day in and day out. Now, Kanna is saying that the BJP took a hard line against Naidu because of his unchecked corruption in the State.

Taking strong objection, MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao has said Kanna has no moral right to criticise CBN considering his background when Kanna started his life from a small ‘Rekula Shed’. How could Kanna go on to make thousands of crores which should be explained by him to the people, said Rayapati. He further said that Kanna was known for his corruption during his stint as minister.

Rayapati also attacked Opposition leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy and Jana Senani Pawan Kalyan, saying that they lacked vision and experience to face CBN in Andhra politics. The MP said that both Jagan and Pawan had no public support in Andhra and it is Chandrababu Naidu would be elected again Chief Minister in 2019 elections in the state.

A former Congress leader, Rayapati has asserted that there would be no TDP alliance with Congress party in Andhra elections and the Mahakutami experiment would be limited to Telangana alone.
