Gowru Cheritha Reddy couple quits YSRCP; to join TDP

Kurnool: YSRCP MLA, Gowru Cheritha Reddy, representing Panyam constituency and her husband Gowru Venkata Reddy, party’s state secretary tendered resignations to the party on Friday. His close followers also resigned from the party. The two leaders are expected to join TDP in the presence of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on March 9. 

The political scenario in the district is changing and migrations into TDP are increasing steadily. Earlier, the former Union Minister, Kotla Jaya Surya Prakash Reddy and his wife KotlaSujathamma, former MLA of Dhone constituency tendered resignations to Congress. They are to join TDP on Saturday in the presence of Naidu.

Quoting reasons behind tendering resignations to YSRCP, GowruCheritha said she was not allocated Panyam ticket by Jaganmohan Reddy despite several requests made to him. “Vexed with the attitude of Jaganmohan Reddy, myself and my husband are compelled to tender resignations”, she said to media persons at her residence on Friday. Instead identifying our services, Jaganmohan Reddy gave   more priority to the new entrant, Katasani Ram Bhupal Reddy, she said. 

Gowru Venkata Reddy said, ``I have taken aback as Cheritha was ignored and Katasani Ram Bhupal Reddy is chosen for Panyam constituency.’’Katasani is a new entrant, he was earlier in BJP and defected to YSR Congress but was given due importance, it’s very unfair, lamented Venkata Reddy.
