YSRCP senior leader and former minister Balineni Srinivas quit the party and sent his resignation letter to YCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy. He is expected to join Jana Sena in the presence of party chief Pawan Kalyan on Thursday, Balineni said at a press conference after his resignation.
In the letter, the former Ongole MLA wrote that he’s quitting the party because he is not happy with YCP leadership for not backing him when he filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India doubting the efficacy of EVMs. He asked for the cross checking of VVPAT slips at some polling stations in Ongole after his defeat in the Ongole Assembly elections.
“I have been expressing my displeasure at YCP leadership for a few days now. I always stood up for the right thing and when Jagan Reddy’s political decisions did not make sense, I stood up and expressed my displeasure,” he wrote in his letter.
Blow to YSRCP:
As per reports, 20 municipal corporators and some other party leaders are expected to quit the party over the coming days, dealing a blow to the party.
This also comes after two Rajya Sabha MPs Mopidevi Venkata Ramana and Beedi Mastan Rao resigned on August 29. MLC Pothula Sunitha also quit the party and is expected to return to her former party TDP.
Prior to this, former Deputy CM Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas resigned from the party and quit all posts. Alla Nani quit as Eluru district president.
