Guntur West MLA and TDP leader Modugula Venugopal Reddy has made sensational comments that put his own party – which is ruling the state – in embarrassment. Venugopal alleged that the farm loan waiver which was promised by the party in 2014 polls was not delivered completely. Expressing dissatisfaction on the functioning, Venugopal further alleged that several realtors have been availing subsidy on fertilizers claiming as farmers. Venugopal didn’t stop there. He alleged that Guntur has become hub for fake seeds and said that fake seeds are being manufactured during the mixing of fertilizers in the plants.
Modugula added that the raids of officials is looking like a publicity act. Modugula, who contested against former minister Kanna Lakshmi Narayana, had won in Guntur West Assembly constituency in 2014 elections. Party insiders say that Modugula has been upset ever since Naidu rejigged the cabinet and he wasn’t included in the cabinet.
Of late, several TDP leaders are crossing the party line and openly making comments against Naidu-led government. Recently, TDP MP from Vijayawada Kesineni Nani had openly stated that Naidu is misled by a group of people and stated that RTA officials are doing wrong practices that led him to shut his travel business.
Another senior leader Shilpa Mohan Reddy from Kurnool district has recently quit TDP to contest from YSRCP in upcoming Nandyala by-election. Looks like, all is not well within the TDP.
