Mysoora and Diwakar addressed the activists, while Chandramouli remained in his room, probably sensing the hostile mood of Subramanyam's followers.
Mysoora advised the activists to work for the party success in ZP polls and support it irrespective of the can didate, without directly mentioning the move to field a new nominee.
Some followers of Subramanyam protested, telling Mysoora that the party would have to pay a heavy price if he was denied the ticket. They would not work for the party if another candidate was named. However, Mysoora succeeded in making Subramanyam Reddy speak.
