The Telangana Congress party’s ambitious Rythu Bharosa Yatra which was undertaken to revive the spirits of farmers in the region and also to strengthen the party in the state by attacking TRS took a nasty turn when senior Congress leader and ex-MP from the Mahabubabad constituency Porika Balram Naik made a few startling comments.
Addressing a large gathering, Balram Naik stunned everyone as he told them to vote for Congress in the upcoming Warangal byelection or else the Congres party will again merge Telangana into Andhra Pradesh when it comes into power after the 2019 general elections.
The former MP made these comments in the presence of TPCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy and senior leader Jana Reddy. Naturally, these comments sparked off a huge stir, with TRS leaders lashing out at Balram Naik.
Feeling the heat, the ex-MP immediately apologized and said that he made those comments only to make the people understand the importance of voting for Congress.
