Former Minister and the Piler legislator Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy has once again locked horns with his arch rival Chief Minister Kirankumar Reddy and questioned his authority to ask all the MLAs, who are siding with former Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy to resign and seek fresh elections.

Addressing a media conference on Sunday, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy had taken serious exception to Kiran seeking the resignation of the pro-Jagan MLAs. He is after all a nominated Chief Minister and in fact won from his Piler constituency with a wafer thin majority, he dared Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy to resign and contest against him from Piler constituency.

Defending his decision to abstain from the ensuing Rachchabanda' programme, Mr Ramachandra Reddy said that the programme was only for those, like Mr. Kirankumar Reddy who failed to maintain any contact and connect' with their voters.
