KCR’s national party reminds people of the Akbar-Birbal story: Ponnam Prabhakar

Former MP Ponnam Prabhakar said people will not believe Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s sudden hatred against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after supporting them for the last eight years.

“Knowing this very well, he is now trying to create an atmosphere that he was fighting against the BJP by planning to launch a national party. How long will he continue these dramas?” the Congress leader asked at a press conference in Hyderabad on Saturday.

He said the TRS MLAs and district presidents supporting the CM to launch a national party is reminding the popular Akbar-Birbal story where the latter blindly praises his boss rather than warning him despite knowing the ground reality. “People are laughing at them and KCR should introspect on his rule and how people were suffering in Telangana,” he said.
