There are rumors and speculations of both of them hand in glove.
But then, it is said that the Picture is a old-one and dates back to the time when Ravi is in YSR Congress.
It is now being circulated with malicious intent.
Gottipati and Karanam Balaram's families do not see eye to eye.

While Balaram was in TDP, Gottipati Ravi was in Congress and later YSR Congress.
However, he always made sure it was a personal rivalry but never crossed the line to criticize Chandrababu Naidu or the TDP.

Once he joined TDP, Ravi was the Prime Target of Jagan.
Right from the beginning of his term, Gottipati was the prime target of Jagan to get a hold of Prakasam district, where TDP got four seats even in YSRCP's wave election in 2019.
There was a non-stop vendetta on Gottipati's businesses. The vigilance department officials are continuously after Gottipati and have even canceled some leases of his granite quarries and its allied polishing industries.
Despite the pressure by Jagan Mohan Reddy, he struck to the party.
Even during the election campaign, Jagan focused so much on Ravi.
It is also interesting to note that Addanki was the same constituency where Jagan held the fourth Siddham meeting, and YSR Congress claims it is the biggest of all the four meetings. Despite all that, Ravi won once again, and that too with a thumping majority.
Gottipati Ravi won for the fifth time from the Addanki constituency with a majority of 24,890 votes.
No way someone like Ravi would compromise or collude with YSR Congress leaders.
TDP won three seats in Prakasam district even in 2019. In 2024, it won all the seats except for one (Darsi lost by a slight margin).
The Party is Super Strong there.
It appears like YSR Congress is targeting Ravi to break the spirit of the TDP in the district.
