Andhra Pradesh sources have stated that in the party coordination meet held in Secretariat, Chandrababu reportedly found fault with Keshav's personal interaction with KCR. Meanwhile he said it was the responsibility of ruling party leaders to show respect when another state's CM comes on visit, but he added that going overboard on such occasions sends wrong signals to public and that it was not good for the party.
Furthermore Payyavula, who didn't attend the meeting owing to personal works, reportedly felt disappointed after learning about Babu's comments. Moreover he later confided to his colleagues that how could it be his fault when KCR himself wanted to speak to him.
He said 'On that day,
he just wished KCR and was on his way. The DIG then came to him and informed
that KCR wanted to meet him and further obliged and went to the helipad. KCR
held his hand, took him aside and had a casual chat. How can he be blamed for
this?' By adding that he has been a member of TDP for 25 years and rued that he
has never done and will never do anything that can damage party's
reputation.
