Taking serious exception to Sircilla MLA and TRS leader K Taraka Ramarao’s dubbing Kiran Kumar Reddy as a ‘lottery Chief Minister’, Anil said that it was not proper for KTR, a first-time MLA, to criticize the Chief Minister, who was a fourth time MLA and had the experience of working as Speaker of Assembly.

He also said that the Congress high command would pick up a capable person to the pivoted post generally and also the Congress was not a feudal party like TRS. He warned KTR that the Congress and the people would teach a fitting lesson to him if he failed to stop criticizing the Chief Minister again. He also advised KTR to behave like a politician and it would help him to continue in politics, otherwise he would face problems.
