Undeclared war between Purandeswari and TSR

Union minister Daggubati Purandeswari gave a fitting reply to Former Rajya Sabha member T Subbarami Reddy who claimed that he is the best bet to contest from the Visakhapatnam parliament constituency.

When asked to react on the 'non-local' remarks against her by T Subbarami Reddy, Purandeswari replied,"We would abide by the orders of the High Command. No one is in a position to defy the leadership. It's our responsibility to strengthen the Congress party ahead of 2014 polls," said Purandeswari, hinting that TSR should abide by High Command order.

Earlier, T Subbarami Reddy who is in the race for contesting from Visakhapatnam parliament constituency has described Purandeswari as a non-local who visits the constituency once in a while.

"Purandeswari is a non-local. She is like a guest who comes to our home once in a while. But, that's not the case with me. I have been celebrating every important occasion of mine in Visakhapatnam, be it my birthday or shivarathri. And I'm always available for the people," said Subbarami Reddy.

Both the top brass leaders were determined to represent Visakhapatnam, but only time will decide who has the upper hand.
