Will call off phase IV yatra if CM KCR takes out yatra: Bandi Sanjay Kumar

Hyderabad: State BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Monday took strong exception to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao asking people not to allow Opposition parties to tour their areas. Addressing the media here, he said the TRS chief won't tour villages; he does not want the Opposition parties to undertake such tours. Bandi claimed that the CM has developed cold feed due to his 'Praja Sangrama Yatra' and people's response to it. He said KCR has gone into depression. The Karimnagar MP dared the CM, saying he would stop his fourth phase of yatra, scheduled from September 12, provided the latter was ready to take out a yatra to villages without police protection.

Bandi stated that he had to take out the yatra since the CM failed to tour to know woes of people. He said KCR was on inauguration spree of district collectorates and public meetings only to hurl abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in official programmes. "People are embarrassed over the CM's langauge and abuse of Modi and the Centre," he added.
