Ponnala's Objectionable WhatsApp Status on Revanth, Congress Fumes

Warangal: Congress leaders have strongly criticised the BRS leader Ponnala Lakshmaiah over his ‘objectionable’ WhatsApp status. Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy on Sunday called on his predecessor K Chandrasekhar Rao at a Hyderabad hospital, where he underwent hip replacement surgery after suffering a fracture. 

Ponnala shared the photo of Revanth’s visit with a sarcastic caption “Sincerely request you, KCR garu, to allow me to be CM of Telangana for at least one…[sic].” as a status message on his WhatsApp account. 

The Congress leader and Warangal District Congress Committee (DCC) president Errabelli Swarna took exception to the remark made by Ponnala after the chief minister paid a courtesy visit to the BRS party chief. 

“As a senior party leader, it does not behove you to make such a derisive remark about the chief minister. The comment proves that you’ve no respect for the elected representative. We’ll not keep quiet if you repeat it in the future,” Errabelli Swarna said.
