TDP leaders Kannekanti Jeevarathnam, Narvaneni Murali and Velpula Ramesh expressed their concerns about being treated unfairly even though they worked hard for the party. While speaking to the media on Thursday, said leaders protested the party giving MLA ticket to Tangirala Sowmya.

Murali stated that he is facing some difficulties with some party leaders. Murali also expressed his concern on some of the party leaders supporting those who accused him with false allegations. Velpula Ramesh alleged that local leaders including the MLA acted inappropriately with his wife Prasanthi who worked as an MPP of Kanchikacharla.

Talking about his life since the beginning of the party, Kannekanti Jeevaratnam said he was disappointed with the way the Party treated him. Kannekanti claimed that he had hoped for a ticket in the last elections but he was set aside by the party after saying that he would be given priority. Kannekanti said that he was disappointed with the announcement of Tangirala Sowmya as the candidate for Nandigama Assembly seat. Kannekanti also warned that if he is not given the ticket, he will contest as an independent candidate. Many leaders and activists supported him and want the party to give the ticket to Kannekanti.
