KCR's son threatens to hit back at Naidu in Andhra

With Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu campaigning aggressively against Telangana's ruling TRS in Hyderabad, the latter on Saturday warned that it will hit back by taking the fight to his state.

Telangana Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K. Chandrashekhar Rao's son and cabinet minister K. T. Rama Rao said if necessary, TRS will enter Andhra Pradesh to "politically finish off Naidu".

KTR, as the young TRS leader is popularly known, told an election rally in Hyderabad that when the time comes, "they will teach a lesson" to Naidu.

KTR said through the Federal Front proposed to be formed by KCR, they would show their strength in Andhra Pradesh. He was indicating at an anti-TDP front, which may be headed by principal opposition party, the YSR Congress.

The YSR Congress, which is not contesting Telangana elections, has extended its support to TRS.

Rama Rao alleged that when Naidu was hatching conspiracies in Hyderabad, they drove him away to Amaravati (the upcoming capital of Andhra Pradesh). "I am confident in this election, Telangana people will chase away Chandrababu Naidu and his party out of the state," he said.

Elections to 119-member Telangana Assembly are scheduled on December 7. The TDP, a constituent of Congress-led People's Front, is contesting 13 seats.

KTR's attack on Naidu came as the TDP chief intensified his election campaign in Hyderabad. Projecting himself as architect of Cyberabad, the information technology district in Hyderabad, Naidu is targeting TRS for its "misrule".
