Ahead of the BRS plan to release its first list of MLA candidates, internal bickerings in the party came to the fore with a key leader in the party launching a scathing attack on one of the ministers.
Malkajgiri BRS MLA Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao vowed to defeat his colleague and minister T. Harish Rao in the elections. He said that he was focusing on Medak and Malkajgiri constituencies for the upcoming elections and then would teach a befitting lesson to Harish Rao in Siddipet constituency. He said that he would not keep calm until Harish Rao was thrown out of power.
The BRS MLA offered his prayers to Lord Balaji at Tirumala and made this statement while leaving the premises of the temple.

Reminding that Harish Rao approached a government hostel wearing rubber chappals and carrying an iron trunk box, Hanumantha Rao faulted Harish Rao for forgetting his past and trying to pose as a clean political leader, indirectly hinting that he was involved in corruption. “I am taking a vow in the name of Lord Venkateswara Swawmy to defeat Harish Rao and will never go back on it,” he said.
