Former Telangana Rashtra Samithi MP, D Ravindra Naik, the man in the news since Monday, has refused to withdraw case he had filed against party president K Chandrasekhara Rao.

Realising that the case has damaged his reputation, KCR sent a message through senior leader Nayani Narasimha Reddy to Naik to withdraw the case, so that he could be taken back into the party. But, an unrelenting Naik refused to budge and withdraw the case.

However, he has agreed to withdraw his “dirty words” used against KCR. “I stand by my allegations against KCR. I take back my unparliamentary words against him, but I am not going to withdraw the case,” he asserted.
