In an interview to a Telugu daily, Posani Krishna Murali has said that the people of Telangana have taught a lesson to those who fought against KCR.  He said that Chandrababu Naidu never cared when a Tehsildar was assaulted by goons in his State, while KCR has always stood by the victims such as orphan children.

"KCR garu has delivered all his poll promises.  That's why he has won," Posani said.  "People have chosen him not out of caste fanaticism," he added.  He said that TDP could win 2 seats in Telangana only because Nara Lokesh didn't campaign for the party.  "If Balakrishna was powerful, Suhasini would have won," he added.

What if KCR were to expand his political base in Andhra Pradesh?  "I will support Jagan Mohan Reddy nevertheless.  His Yatras have established a strong connect with the people.  If he wins, there won't be casteism, rowdyism and loot," Posani said.

He opined that Jagan is criticizing Pawan Kalyan at times only because he has been provoked to do so.
