Rajasekhara Reddy government and had disclosed details of his assets and business interests in his 2009 election affidavit.

He accused his political opponents of presenting information already disclosed in his affidavit as if it were a newly discovered fact. Several Congress and BJP leaders and workers from the Armoor constituency joined the BRS at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday in the presence of KTR. He welcomed them into the party by draping them with BRS scarves.

He alleged that farmers were complaining about inadequate power supply, delays in the Rythu Bandhu scheme and shortages of urea. He urged people to stand with the BRS and continue their campaign against the government.
