KCR is indulging in psychological warfare: Ponnala

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ponnala Lakshmaiah on Tuesday accused TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao of triggerring a psychological warfare against the Congress party and other rivals.

Speaking to media persons at his residence here, Ponnala alleged that KCR was trying to play with the psychology of Congress leaders using the news channel and newspaper that he owns. He alleged that KCR's mouthpieces were carrying out false stories and propaganda against the Congress party in order to demoralise the cadre and leaders. KCR is also enacting the dramas of leaders of other political parties joining the TRS, he alleged.

Ponnala alleged that KCR was luring the leaders of political parties with the packages and offers of tickets in ensuing elections. However, he said KCR would not be able to accommodate so many leaders who would revolt after denial of tickets.

Stating that the Congress party would prove its might in the ensuing Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, he said that the credit of Telangana formation solely goes to Congress party and AICC President Sonia Gandhi. People of Telangana are fully aware of this fact and they would bring the Congress to power in Telangana State in ensuing polls.

Ponnala was speaking after admitting former TDP leader Nallamadugu Suresh and OUJAC leader Ramesh Mudiraj into the Congress party. TPCC Working President Uttam Kumar Reddy was also present.
