The defiant remarks of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy that the last ball was yet to be played in the match over bifurcation of Andhra have evoked interesting quips from different quarters. Most of the critics have used the cricket parlance to get back at the Chief Minister.
While Telangana Joint Action Committee convener Kodanda Ram said that the match had reached a stage where even a “sixer’ by the Chief Minister was not going to stop Telangana, TRS MlA T Harish Rao said that passage of the Bill in Parliament will mark the last ball of the match. “Time has come for the Chief Minister to go back to the pavilion,” he said.
The verbal duel has become interesting as Kiran Kumar Reddy is known as a good batsman and had played for the college.
CM Reddy, already under fire from the Telangana Congress leaders for his alleged bias towards Andhra, has also faced a lot of barbs from the party leaders.
