The head of the media house came forward to interview the CM of Andhra Pradesh from a new angle. Whereas, The interview didn't turn out as planned because reactions from Babu were different from what's been expected.

Still, There are few interesting details in the interview. AP CM was asked about his election expenses when he contested for Assembly for the first time. Now a days, Even Candidates in sarpanch elections have been spending around Rs 50 lakh. Imagine how much MLAs and MPs were investing?
