Former MP Ponnam Prabhakar criticized Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay, calling him a “joker” and saying he speaks without substance. Sanjay had claimed that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao would choose the Congress party’s Assembly candidates. Prabhakar dismissed this as baseless and suggested that Sanjay was unable to accept BJP’s defeat in Karnataka. Prabhakar also pointed out that Sanjay had met with Minister Gangula Kamalakar, indicating a friendly relationship between the BJP and BRS parties. Prabhakar alleged that Chief Minister KCR had sponsored Sanjay’s Padayatra and orchestrated his arrest for media hype. He also raised concerns about alleged irregularities in Karimnagar’s island development projects.
