Congress leader Mynampally Hanumantha Rao accused Chakradhar Goud of acting at the behest of the BRS and used strong words against him, dismissing his criticism and vowing to focus on challenging senior BRS leaders instead of smaller political rivals
Mynampally, who joined the Congress in New Delhi last Friday, had claimed that the party high command had assured him two tickets based on 'survey' results.
Sasidhar Reddy had won from Medak in 2004 but lost to Mynampally Hanumantha Rao, who contested on Telugu Desam Party ticket in 2009. However, he could not get the chance to contest in 2014 and 2018 for various reasons.
