Speaking to the media in New Delhi after his meeting with Antony, Sarve said Antony, who is also the chairman of party’s National Disciplinary Committee , sought his explanation over his insulting remarks against State party affairs incharge RC Kuntia and TPCC Chief Uttam Kumar Reddy. He said he had explained everything that both Kuntia and Uttam did irreparable damage to the party and ensured its defeat in the recent Assembly elections.
