One could justify if opposition parties lashing at the government. But, if it is from own party members, certainly it would be embarrassing for any CM. Senior congress leader Palwai Govardhan Reddy responding to tall claims made by CM Kiran Kumar Reddy over the triumph in society elections, said in fact it is not the victory of any leaders but the credit goes to grass root level party workers. One need not to think that Telangana sentiment is fading away because of this verdict. It is there in the hearts of the people, but the verdict is an outcome of the collective effort put by the party workers.”

He said “People are coming to see Sharmila, only because she is daughter of former CM. So, she need not expect them to vote for her party. I am sure YSRCP will not get a single vote, come how many miles she walks in the region. Both Chandrababu and Sharmila are doing padayatras only to come to power, so as they can safeguard their properties.”
