Finance Minister  K. Rosaiah backed CM’s statement  saying that the CM did not call him a rowdy. Shooting a question directly on the all the floor leaders of the party in the house he said ``all the  floor leaders have advised us on this issue but did any of you request Dayakar Rao to leave the house respectfully.’’ 

Not good on part of YSR to speak lies

``It is not good on the part of Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy to speak lies in the assembly holding such a prestigious position in the state,’’ said Chandra babu Naidu reacting to the  remarks made by the CM on his party member E Dayakar Rao.  Did the CM hear the statement made by Dayakar ``come out we will see’’, he questioned. You can ask any one in the  assembly  whether Dayakar Rao made such a statement, the TDP chief challenged.

``In case if it is established that Dayakar made such a statement then I will definitely ask him to tender an apology,’’ Chandrababu Naidu said confidently.
