On arrival at Tirupati on Friday evening, Congress MP K. Chiranjeevi spoke to the media at the Renugunta airport. He congratulated all the victorious candidates in the by-elections.
The megastar-turned-politician said that he was happy that Narsapuram and Ramachandrapuram Congress candidates had won. Both are former PRP men and were defeated in 2009 on PRP tickets. On the defeat of other Congress candidates, Chiranjeevi said the party would review the situation and correct the lapses. He said there was need for further strengthening of the party. On Tirupati result, he said delay in the selection of the candidate and disunity among party leaders was responsible for the defeat. (NSS)
