There was no issue until Rajaiah was in the Congress and Srihari in TDP. However, the problem started after bothjoined the pink party. Since both represented the constituency they have a large number of followers. Srihari has beenholding meetings in the constituency with his followers in the wake of ensuing elections. Srihari targeted Rajaiah overthe latter’s controversy involving Sarpanch Navya. In response the MLA questioned how could Srihari have so manyproperties without doing any work.
After meeting Rao, Rajaiah addressed reporters in the Assembly. He said Rao had responded positively to issues raised byhim and asked him to focus on the constituency. On his allegations, Rajaiah said he had only repeated words used bysenior leaders MotkupalliNarsimhulu and Manda Krishna Madiga on Srihari acquiring properties. He said Srihari wasacting like another power centre in the constituency; hence he had to take his name. However, Rajaiah said he wouldnever take Srihari’s name in future.
