Karanam Balaram calls Chandrababu Naidu deceitful

CHIRALA: Chirala MLA Karanam Balaram on Sunday said that he never came across a cheating leader like Chandrababu Naidu who deceived the people always.

Responding to Chandrababu's comments against him at Inkollu Sabha, Balaram tore into Naidu and described him as a villain during a media interaction the following day. Balaram expressed his disdain for Naidu's comments, stating that he had never encountered a deceitful individual like the TDP Chief.

Balaram further challenged Naidu to engage in a face-to-face meeting, inviting him to visit his office. He also clarified that he did not seek TDP's ticket in the 2019 elections and opined that he had won the election with the votes of people of all quarters.

Denying that he had won with the help of Naidu, Balaram questioned how the latter helped him win when he (Naidu) could not make his son Nara Lokesh win from the Mangalagiri constituency. Balaram asserted that his victory in recent elections was because of his capabilities.
