Recently appointed Andhra Pradesh TDP President Kimidi Kala Venkat Rao slips his tongue on his very first encounter with Jagan Mohan Reddy. He criticized Jagan for staging dharna at Bhogapuram village in Vizianagaram district yesterday with fake farmers. He used a phrase ‘donga raithulu’ for stating ‘fake farmers’ while criticizing Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Obviously, YSR Congress party strongly objected him for saying farmers as thieves. Interestingly, TDP’s ally and its partner in the statement government also sharply reacted on his rude remarks made against farmers. BJP MLA Vishnu Vardhan Reddy objected him for saying so. He demands TDP president to withdraw his remarks immediately.

He also questioned the necessity of colleting 12, 000 acres land for constructing airport at Bhogapuram. He said no airport in the country was built in such a vast piece of land. Hence, he asks the government to reconsider its decision. His statement may make TDP very embarrassing as it can’t welcome or reject his suggestion at this stage. If it welcomes his suggestion and revokes its decision then Jagan Mohan Reddy will claim the credit for it. If stick to its decision its relations with BJP may be strained. Either way it has to pay some price for its decision.
