Kesineni, Buddha engage in open war on Twitter

Vijayawada: Internal differences in TDP came into open with Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas alias Nani and party urban unite president Buddha Venkanna engaging in personal attacks on each other on Twitter on Sunday.

In his tweet, MP Nani took a dig at Venkanna stating that a person who can't get "four votes" got four posts. "And a person who cannot read or write beyond few words is actually tweeting, which is most unfortunate," he added.

This war of words comes in the wake of Venkanna, who recently joined social media actively tweeting countering acerbic comments and allegati0ns against TDP and its chief N Chandrababu Naidu by YSRCP leaders, mainly party Rajya Sabha member V Vijayasai Reddy.

Reacting to Nani's hostile comments, Venkanna tweeted that what the party needed was someone who would fight for the party and the party leader in times of crisis. "A person who joins forces with the opposition parties is dangerous. The party doesn't need opportunistic people like you (Nani), it needs someone who can fight for Chandrababu like a soldier who is ready to lay down his life," he countered.

In response, Kesineni Nani in another tweet accused Venkanna of meeting Vijayasai Reddy with the help of a film personalities with an intention to join the YSRCP. Denying this, Venkanna asserted that he works for TDP until his last breath, unlike Kesineni who he accused of playing dramas to defect to another party just as he did before coming out of Praja Rajyam Party founded by K Chiranjeevi.

In later, tweets Buddha Venkanna also launched a scathing attack on the MP alleging that he had committed large-scale irregularities in his now-closed transport business.

Meanwhile, another TDP senior leader Nagul Meera supported the comments of Nani, stating in a tweet that the Nani had worked hard when the party was in the opposition before 2014.

He recalled that Nani took the responsibility of Padayatra in Krishna district.
