Supporters of Manne stage dharna outside TRS Bhavan

​Hyderabad: Followers of Khairatabad Constituency TRS Incharge Manne Govardhan Reddy staged a dharna in front of Telangana Bhavan demanding that the party should not give the ticket to Danam Nagender.

The followers staged dharna in front of the Telangana Bhavan raising slogans of ‘we want justice.’ The leaders demanded ticket for Manne Govardhan Reddy instead. The party is looking to field Danam Nagender from Khairatabad Assembly constituency.

The protesting followers of Govardhan Reddy said that a person who said KCR’s nose would be rubbed on the floor is taken into the party and was given ticket. Nagender thrashed students with sticks when they sought his support for separate Telangana. How can a leader like this be included in the party and given ticket, asked one of the followers. They alleged Danam Nagender was ‘Telangana Drohi,’ who did not take part in Telangana agitation.

Meanwhile, the TRS smelling a rebel trouble announced former Medchal MLA M Sudheer Reddy would be now general secretary of the party. Caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday said that Sudheer Reddy would be the general secretary. It may be mentioned here that the ruling party has not announced candidate from Medchal and it is believed that Sudheer Reddy might not be given ticket this time.

The party made another appointment on Monday. The party appointed M Venkat Goud as party’s in charge for Yellandu Assembly constituency. Another leader T Madhusudhan has been appointed as observer for the constituency.
