He said, “I know everything about Ambati. I will not utter the name of the latter. Leaders like Chandrababu Naidu will never be born again. No leader can break Naidu. After coming to power, CM did not encourage politics of vendetta. Ambati and YSRCP leaders speaking language like pickpockets at bus stands. To divert attention from the issue of adulterated ghee, Ambati resorted to abusive language. Ambati is a petty leader.” YSRCP state general secretary Sajjala Rama Krishna Reddy, former MP and YSRCP leader Modugula Venugopala Reddy, MLC Lella Appi Reddy, former MLA Dr Gopireddy Srinivasa Reddy and Annabathuni Siva Kumar rushed to Ambati Rambabu’s house in Guntur city.

To divert attention of the public from the TTD laddu issue, the TDP leaders made false propaganda. Ambati spoke facts about TTD laddu. Police failed to disperse the TDP activists while TTD activists tried to attack Ambati. Police working in favour of TDP, he said.
