Despite losing the crucial Nandyal by-poll, YSR Congress Party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy continued with his scathing attack against ruling Telugu Desam Party supremo and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Addressing the media Jagan Reddy said, "Naidu has hit us hard, we accept it. Our time will come and we will hit him equally hard."

Accusing ruling TDP of misusing power, Jagan added, "TDP won because it misused power. The party distributed money to the tune of Rs 200 crores. Police acted on behalf of TDP, raided people's houses and threatened them."

"CM can't make 20 defected MLAs (who joined TDP after leaving YSRCP) resign and re-elect them. It shows he is not man enough," Jagan said.

Jagan warned the ruling party, saying his set back is temporary and he will bounce back resolutely.

Meanwhile replying on the allegation of Jagan, the TDP chief compared him with Haryana's Dera Sacha Sauda chief Baba Ram Rahim, who has been sentenced to 20 years jail for rape.

Taking a dig at Jagan, Naidu said, "There is a Dera baba and here is Jagan baba, both create trouble, promote violence."
