Hyderabad: Calling Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu “Andhra gunta nakka (fox)”, Telangana CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao asserted that even Brahma could not save him.
Attacking Mr Naidu for “meddling” in Telangana affairs and for trying to purchase MLAs in the MLC elections despite lacking numbers, Mr Rao said it was the Telangana police and government that held sway over Hyderabad and not the AP government or its police.

“Naidu says in a meeting in Andhra that he has been framed in the ACB case. Can we fix a shrewd and cunning leader like Chandrababu Naidu? He fixes people but never gets fixed. He will destroy others’ homes but not his home,” the CM said.
Mr Rao said, “What is he saying? He says he was falsely implicated in the case. He did everything. A person from the neighbouring state comes here and tries to buy ruling party MLAs to ensure victory of their MLCs and we have to keep quiet with folded hands? We should be silent?” he said.

“We should not call a person who commits robbery a thief. We should not catch him. You have seen how they were exposed on TV. Did you see or not,” he asked the crowd who replied in the affirmative. “He was caught red-handed. Why will we fix him,” the CM said.
Mr Rao said, “Naidu says ‘KCR and I have the same rights on Hyderabad’. Is Hyderabad his abba jagir? Does it belong to his tata? You are not CM of Hyderabad, Telangana bidda is CM.”

Mr Rao added that the Telangana ACB had control in Hyderabad and not the AP ACB or DGP. “You (Mr Naidu) have been caught with your pants down. Now you are creating a ruckus. You have been exposed from galli to Delhi. Your lucha and lathkor antics have been exposed.”

“He says he has ACB too in Hyderabad, but he should remember, KCR is not a thief like him. I don’t indulge in dirty politics. I am asking Chandrababu Naidu, why did he get into the election when he had no strength? He wanted to purchase MLAs, indulge in dirty politics. He destroyed politics. Telan-gana bidda Stephenson lodged a complaint and your MLA is in jail. You are exposed, your phone conversation has come out and you are not innocent. You have been caught red handed.”
