Kick-starting the campaign in Mangalagiri, Mohan Babu alleged, "I had been with the TDP much before Naidu came into the party. His political foundation was the Congress party and he had even boasted that he would contest against his father-in-law NTR. Later, he made NTR helpless by grabbing the party."

Mohan Babu added that late NT Rama Rao's sons were innocent and they were not aware of political conspiracies. But N Chandrababu Naidu cheated them and used them in dethroning the actor-turned-politician. However, the party workers affections towards NTR has helped the TDP sustain all these years.

Mohan Babu also spoke about the corruption in the state and said that it has reached a new high during the regime of Chandrababu Naidu, whose fellow leaders looted everything including sand and soil. He has been cheating the people with his false promises and he should not be voted for power in this elections.
