Motkupalli chooses Kiran over Naidu for meeting

TDP MLA Motkupalli Narasimhulu who is upset over not getting a ticket for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, refused to see TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu eye to eye in the Assembly. But an angry Motkupalli made an attempt to meet the chief minister and Speaker.

Motkupalli who had skipped Assembly sessions for the past two days, marked his attendance today after the Telangana TDP leaders convinced him.

It is learnt that Telangana leaders tried to talk Motkupalli into meeting Chandrababu. However, he turned down their requests and slammed them instead.

Motkupalli reportedly told them that they are in a situation where even we cannot question Chandrababu on why two seats were alloted to Seemandhra leaders. After seeing Motkupalli, some Seemandhra leaders came forward to greet him but he made some sarcastic comments and evaded the meeting.

But the buzz in the political circles today is that he won't resign from the party as he is convinced with the TDP leaders' promises. Which is why he attended the Aassembly today.

Motkupalli has been sulking since Monday evening after Naidu did not nominate him for the Rajya Sabha. The senior TDP leader also indicated that he could no longer continue in the party and was mulling over joining the Congress party. It is learnt that Panchayat Raj Minister K Jana Reddy is mediating.
