: Dubbing the proposed Congress-TDP pre-poll alliance as anti-Telangana, caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao Wednesday said the opposition wants to 'hand over' the state to 'Andhra People' once again.

Lashing out at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, he alleged that his Andhra Pradesh counterpart was caught red handed in the 'cash for vote' scam in 2015.

Naidu landed in a controversy in the wake of some news channels airing an audio recording of a purported conversation he had with a nominated legislator seeking his vote in the Legislative Council elections in 2015.

The case is pending in court.

Speaking at a public meeting at Nizamabad, Rao also alleged that Naidu had promised Rs 500 crore and three choppers for the Congress as his contribution for the ensuing election.

"These people (Congress) are touching his (Naidu) feet and trying to bring him back to Telangana. Is this what we want? He is a demon... He snatched seven mandals from us. He was writing letter to the centre to stop our projects."
"He iwas caught red handed in the cash for vote scam, he alleged
"He is Telangana betrayer. If you ( Congress) beg, we will give you four seats. You ( people) want to hand over power to Andhra people? Should we go to Amaravati? You should not pledge Telangana pride.Let us not bow our heads to Delhi."
