Speaking to media persons here, Krishna Rao said the ruling party did not achieve anything in announcing the jumbo list of 115 candidates. There was no self respect for leaders in the BRS, he alleged.

Defending the infighting among Congress leaders, the former Minister said there was democracy in the Congress party. “We will fight for tickets in Gandhi Bhavan and even at AICC in New Delhi,” he said, adding that he was filing an application seeking the Kollapur ticket from the Congress.
