Political Campaigning: Malla Reddy, Mynampally Exchange Barbs

With elections drawing near, the war of words between the BRS and Congress leaders has reached a peak. BRS minister Nalla Malla Reddy never fails to entertain the public through his humour while addressing meetings.

In one such meeting at Malkajgiri, Nalla Malla Reddy launched a tirade against Mynampally Hanumantha Rao, who switched sides to the Congress recently, and termed him ‘Mainampilli’ and the latter called him ‘buffoon mantri’.

Malla Reddy also criticized the etiquette of Mynampally and said that he is always accompanied by numerous bouncers and black cars. “He considers himself a Pahalwan but does he have the guts like me,” asked Malla Reddy. In fact, he is a ‘macchar pahalwan’. He has to be supported by people to at least walk normally, Malla Reddy ridiculed and even mimicked him on the stage.

Malla Reddy alleged that Mynampally betrayed the BRS and threatened the party workers. Further, he said that the all the BRS cadre and local body representatives of Malkajgiri were feeling relieved after Mynampally had left the party. He had suppressed them even when they had toiled for his victory in the 2018 elections, Malla Reddy said.

Responding to this, Mynampally said Malla Reddy was a ‘cultureless fellow’. He claimed that he was ‘master of all-jack of all’ and that he led the school cricket and volleyball teams. “You are an ‘angootha chaap’, Mynampally said.

At the same time, Mynampally also pointed out the contradictory statements given by Malla Reddy. “On one hand, you are saying that I am ‘Mynampilli’ and on the other, you say that I oppressed my juniors.”

“Except for dancing, you do not know anything.”

Further, Mynampally said that he had fallen down from the fourth floor of a building which could probably be the reason for taking support from others while walking.

He also predicted that Harish Rao would lose the elections and Malla Reddy would go to jail.
