Telangana Congress and ex-Congress members Gutha Sukender Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy continued their war-of-words on the latter's defection to the TRS after it came to power.
In a heated speech at a media conference on Monday, Venkat Reddy challenged Sukender Reddy to tender his resignation from the TRS and stand against him in upcoming elections from the same constituency.
The Congress MLA ridiculed Sukender Reddy saying that the latter was notorious for changing loyalties.
"Why is Sukender demanding my resignation? Was I the one who switched parties? I challenge him to contest against me in the upcoming elections after resigning from his post. He will not win a single vote," he said.
Additionally, he also asked Sukender Reddy to persuade the Miryalaguda and Devarakonda MLAs, who had defected to the TRS, to tender resignations.
