Hyderabad: Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, on Wednesday alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was creating a ruckus after they “caught a thief red handed” in the cash-for-vote scam.
 
Alleging the neighbouring state was trying to “kill an infant Telangana”, he sought support of all sections of people including intellectuals and leaders by joining TRS in the making of Bangaru Telangana.
 
“What did we do? We caught a thief red-handed. You have seen how much ruckus Chandrababu Naidu is creating. Did we say anything? The world is a witness to what has happened. It is like a wife beating her husband and shouting for help,” he said without naming TD MLA, Revanth Reddy.
 
Mr Rao was speaking at a function where former APCC president D. Srinivas and several other Congress leaders including MPTCs, corporators from Nizamabad joined the TRS fold.
 
“Mr Naidu is tormenting Telangana ever since the state was formed. We were deprived of our share of power, our corporations, TS accounts were frozen, our share of money was taken away, created unrest among students and the Eamcet problem,” he alleged.
 
“You (Mr Naidu) have a state. Why don’t you lead your life? You had enough of hegemony over TS. We have 10 districts and you have 13 districts. You have such a big state from Srikakulam to Anantapur. You have plenty of work to do. There are lots of poor, problems, farmers, is there no other work there? Why hang around Hyderabad. Auronka shaadi mein Abdulla Begana,” he quipped.
 
Mr Rao said D. Srinivas joined TRS to extend support but not for a post.
