Buddha Venkanna Lashes Out at Keshineni Nani

Vijayawada MP Keshineni Nani, who defected from the TDP to join the YSRCP, was severely criticized by TDP Politburo member Buddha Venkanna. He harshly reprimanded Nani, saying, "You grew up on Chandrababu's charity... Who do you think you are, a stray dog?" Venkanna used strong language in his rebuke.

He mentioned, "Your brother, Keshineni Chinni, is there... He's your brother, so there are some limits. But I have no such constraints. Because... to Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, I am like Lord Hanuman, a devoted follower. You left because there are elections in two months... Today, there's no power machinery here... It's shut down. I was the one who dealt with Kodali Nani, a mad dog, three and a half years ago. How significant are you to me... You're just a child to me!

"As long as you held the flag of the Telugu Desam Party, whatever you said, I let it go. What are you... Why should Mr. Chandrababu Naidu compete against you? Will you win against Mr. Chandrababu Naidu with a majority of 300,000 votes? Hey... You or your daughter, try competing in the Vijayawada West constituency... I will compete... You are bound to lose by a margin of 300,000 votes," Venkanna stated.
