I am not answerable to KCR's arrogant allegations: Ponnala

Hyderabad,  In a counter to TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao's allegations against him, PCC Chief Ponnala Lakshmaiah on Saturday called him arrogant and stopped short of abusing him.

Addressing a press conference, Lakshmaiah said that KCR was envious of his working style and that is why he was at the receiving end of his baseless allgetaions.

He added that the term 'broker' used by KCR for him, would suit the TRS chief more. He also pointed out that it was his upbringing that stopped him from abusing KCR. 

Ponnala  made it clear that he didn't meet any TRS leaders for negotiations. "I am willing to give explanations. I never said that I will tear TRS into pieces," he said.

The PCC chief said that KCR's insecurity about his party leaders is forcing him to make these allegations. I have seen hunger and humiliation, and then I went to US to study. On my return, I joined Congress party with the intention to serve my country," he said.

"I reached this position only after working hard from grassroots level. Everyone in TRS is aware of KCR's arrogant style of working," he said.
