He alleged that the TDP MLAs have misused the CMO to stage protest which was aimed at drawing maximum publicity in the media. Therefore, he said that the TDP should apologise to the people for their behaviour.
Venkataramana Reddy said that the TDP has been losing popularity and that was the reason why it has been staging protests on or the other issues to win back people's confidence. However, he said that the people would never "fall pray to its political stunts".
He claimed that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has been making serious attempts to resolve the ongoing power crisis, he said that the government even offered to remove VAT on the diesel that the industries use to draw power from the generators. He said that the State Government was willing to accept the suggestions from all the opposition parties over the issue. Instead of advising the government, he said that it was wrong on the part of opposition parties to level baseless allegations and resort to political stunts.
