  "account": "The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has rebuked the YSR Congress leaders over their continued desire for power, warning them to \"shed their power hangover\" after the Punganur incident. At a media conference in Tirupati on Saturday, TDP leaders Kalikiri Muralimohan (Puthalapattu), Pulivarthi Nani (Chandragiri) and TUDA Chairman C. Divakar Reddy addressed the controversy. The TDP leaders criticized the opposition party for attempting to provoke NDA Alliance cadres by resorting to violence. Divakar Reddy, TUDA Chairman, stated that the YSRCP is still imagining to be in power, despite the voters confining them to just eleven seats. He called the irresponsible behavior of an elected Member of Parliament unacceptable and emphasized that the government would not take such incidents lightly.",
