It assumes significance as it comes a couple of days after Mr. Venkat Reddy participated in the official programmes of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for two days — on Friday and Saturday. Although Mr. Venkat Reddy clarified that he was meeting Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao and sharing the dais with him after seven long years and that he was not given time by the Chief Minister to discuss some developmental issues of his Parliamentary Constituency, it did not go down well with a section of the TPCC.
