As electioneering picks up heat, rival leaders are accusing TRS of bringing dishonour to Telangana state. Former Home Minister and senior TDP leader T. Devender Goud wrote an open letter to Telangana caretaker CM Chandrasekhar Rao, asking him to resign from politics instead of bringing disrepute to Telangana state. Goud felt that KCR is damaging reputation of the state by using uncivilised language and behaviour totally unbecoming of a person occupying CM seat.

Goud says it is time for KCR to give up his career in favour of young generation of Telangana who are ready to safeguard the interests of the state. The former minister is unhappy that Telangana state has become some sort of a captive in the iron grip of KCR and his family. He appealed to the people to give KCR a fitting lesson in the December elections.
