>Talking to media persons, Ramachandraiah said that Naidu, who was defeated in Chandragiri Assembly constituency and contested from Kuppam segment, has no moral right to criticize Chiranjeevi. Unlike Naidu, Chiranjeevi has not gone anywhere and the Congress party has elevated him to Rajya Sabha, he said.
>Despite Chiranjeevi's elevation to Rajya Sabha, the Minister said that he would be available for the people of Tirupati constituency and work for its development. Claiming that Chiranjeevi has spent hundreds of crores for the development of Tirupati, he said Naidu was resorting to personal attacks on Chiranjeevi due to the fear of losing the by-elections.
>Ramchandraiah wondered on Naidu's invitation to PRP cadre to join the TDP. He said that it was Naidu who described PRP cadre as migrant leaders.
