Amidst the ongoing Nandi awards controversy, Posani Krishna Murali has rejected the award for Best Supporting Actor that he has been conferred on him for the film 'Temper'.

Speaking on Tuesday, Posani didn't mince any words in suggesting that Lokesh, son of AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, is intolerant of criticism.

Referring to TDP leader Lokesh's recent statements, Posani opined that the injustice meted out to Telangana is indeed true. "KCR garu never said anything against Andhraites. Had the mindset of Lokesh Babu been possessed by Telangana people, we would have been chased out. If Lokesh Babu were to become the CM, we would be like the Rohingyas. Don't you own properties in Telangana, Lokesh Babu? Are you going to do away with Nandis if the controversy thickens? Many have criticized the Padma awards. Have they been disbanded? Learn it from KCR how to love others. You have made us non-locals just over the Nandis. I won't be accepting any Nandi till my last breath. Do we need Aadhar and Voter ID to criticize the government?" Posani said.
