Who’s Ganta? asks Ayyanna

PNS|Visakhapatnam

Chintakayala Ayyanna Patrudu, known for bad-mouthing CM Jagan, YSRC leaders, and even government officials, is now targeting his own party leaders. On Thursday, Ayyanna Patrudu targeted Ganta Srinivas Rao his former Cabinet colleague and TDP legislator from Visakhapatnam (North). Ganta has been staying away from party activities for the last four years and has suddenly become active.

When Ayyanna Patrudu was asked by the reporters about what kind of role Ganta Srinivas Rao would be playing in the party in the coming days, Ayyanna got wild and shouted at the reporters. “Who is Ganta, I say? He is just one among millions of party workers. Is he a big leader or a prime minister? Why should we talk about him?” he asked. Ayyanna said a true leader was one who worked hard for the party when it was in trouble.

He said, “I want everybody to work sincerely to restore the glory of the party. They should come regularly and take part in the party work.”

While declaring that he was not against anybody personally, the former minister said his complaint is only about those who have been in hibernation all these years when the party was in a dire situation and are now coming out of the rat holes when the election season has arrived.

“I feel very bad about those who have ditched the party when it was in trouble. We want everybody to be in the party. We don’t want to distance anyone and want their well-being even if they were away from the party in difficult times,” he said.
