Since, the campaigning for Medak by-elections ends yesterday, the three major players-Congress, TRS and BJP have shifted to media platform to criticize their rivals in a bid to convince the people to vote for their party only.

Former Union Minister Jaipal Reddy taking lead from Telangana CM KCR’s rude statement made against media said “He sent a wrong message to the whole nation that there is no freedom to media in Telangana state. His attitude towards media is very disgusting. Hyderabad brand image is damaging after TRS party comes to power in the state. Being a regional party TRS can talk anything, because it has nothing to do with other states. But, Congress being a national party cannot behave like TRS. KCR should mind his language, otherwise even industrialists won’t prefer to invest in Telangana state.”

T-PCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah also attacks CM KCR. He conducts a dharna at Ranga Reddy district collector’s office today. Addressing his party workers there, he said “No political party ever runs smoothly or returned to power that obliges the farmers commit suicides. TRS government will also face same fate soon. During these three months TRS ruling around 150 farmers have committed suicides in Telangana. Yet, the government didn’t care for them instead boasting about its 100 days ruling.”

BJP leader Indrasena Reddy speaking to media said “It is quite unfortunate to have a CM like KCR for Telangana. People of Telangana may be now regretting for giving him power.” TRS also gives counter to both its rivals.

CM KCR asked Ponnala what he did to stop the suicides when he was minister in Kiran Kumar Reddy’s government. Harish rao flays BJP for fielding Telangana traitor as its candidate in the by-elections.
