TDP-TRS War of Words

The TDP-TRS war of words is continuing unabated since Monday. TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao and TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu started hitting at each other once again. KCR, who was keeping low all these days without responding to TDP criticism, has now unleashed a volley of accusations against Chandrababu Naidu and TDP.

In his efforts to portray the former Chief Minister as 'Benami Chakravarthy', KCR talked about Naidu's alleged illegal assets in Nellore district, which included even assigned lands. He demanded the Kiran Kumar Reddy government to inquire into the TDP chief's illegal property transactions. Chandrababu responded to KCR’s criticism, saying that the former was repeating Jagan’s lies. He said he had disposed off his lands in Balayapalli long back, but still KCR wants to talk about them. He said he would stick by his stand that if it were proved that he had any more properties than already declared by him, he would gift them to the whistle-blower.

Meanwhile, TDP leader Motkupalli Narsimhulu lambasted KCR as a crony of Congress and Jagan. He alleged that KCR was getting funds for by-election from Gali Janardhan Reddy and Jagan and hence is targeting Chandrababu at their behest. Making sweeping allegations, Motkupalli said that KCR had shipping business in Gujarat and acquired lands in Delhi, using his ill-gotten money through the Telangana agitation. Looks like, the no-holds-barred exchange of abuses will continue till the by-elections in Telangana are over.
