With Revanth Reddy set to join Congress, the attack about his exit from Telugu Desham have got going. L Ramana, president of Telugu Desham Party in Telangana, today said that Revanth’s exit won’t affect the party in state.Speaking to media, Ramana criticized Revanth’s leaving the party which gave him political birth and made star campaigner of the party.
Calling him an ‘opportunist’, Ramana criticized saying, “Revanth Reddy has been secretly working with Congress leaders and Rahul Gandhi since last six months.’ He further compared Mr. Reddy with Nadendla Bhaskar Rao, who pulled a coup with help of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984. After that, Bhaskar Rao also became the Chief Minister of state – but remained only for 31 days.
“Even when Bhaskar Rao deceived NTR, Telugu Desham came to power with all force and we’ll repeat the same again. TDP will contest in all 119 constituencies in coming polls and we will try to hoist our party flag in the assembly segments. Only TRS and Congress are our leading opponents,” said Ramana by warning Revanth that he will not be able to see his growth in venom-filled Congress party.
Earlier on Saturday, Revanth Reddy met TDP supreme Chandrababu Naidu in Amaravati and submitted his resignation from the party. While walking out of Babu’s chamber, media asked Revanth to speak about conflict with other leaders of party in Telangana to which he replied: ‘I don’t want to waste my time. I don’t have any opinion on them now’
