A grateful Chandrababu, who could successfully complete his Warangal tour despite stiff opposition from TRS and associate outfits, said that the TDP should prostrate before the party cadre who withstood all the threats and violence to ensure that the program went about smoothly.

Babu told his party politburo members that but for the determination and courage shown by the party activists in Warangal, the program would not have been successful.

TDP rank and file was elated at the Warangal foray of the party, as it turned out to be a litmus test for its ability to hold fort in the face of renewed but focussed attack by TRS and JAC.

A belligerent TDP now wants to target KCR and Kodandaram and ‘expose’ their alleged nexus with Congress and Jagan. Already, Revanth Reddy and other leaders issued statements that they would not allow KCR and Kodandaram to address meetings.
