Telangana Telugu Desam Party Forum convenor Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Sunday rebutted the speculative reports which had found their way in a section of media that he and his party President N Chandrababu Naidu were at loggerheads.
Talking to media persons at Telugu Desam Legislature Party office, the senior leader condemned the media report that he was given an earful by Naidu, and termed it as baseless and far from truth.
Janardhan Reddy took pains to say that he had no differences with Naidu over the separate Telangana statehood issue.
Hinting that the media was trying to drive a wedge between the 2 leaders, Reddy said that he and his party president were working together on the Telangana issue.
"I will not fear for anybody and work towards achieving Telangana state at any cost," he stated.
Janardhan Reddy had reportedly told a gathering of intellectuals that he was fighting against the leaders of his own party for the sake of Telangana.
The senior leader had also said that if Naidu remained opposed to a separate Telangana state, he would resign from the Telugu Desam Party and fight for Telangana.
Sources say that Naidu became furious with Reddy over these words and gave him an earful.
