Within a month of facing a debacle in the general elections, the Telugu Desam Party is feeling the heat from within. While it was only a couple of days ago that former Chief Whip and senior leader Gadde Babu Rao resigned from the TDP, stating that there was no point in continuing in the party which had lost people’s support, it was the turn of former minister and TDP senior MLA from Kovur constituency in Nellore district Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy to raise the banner of revolt against party president N Chandrababu Naidu.
In an open letter to Naidu, Prasanna Kumar Reddy criticised the stand taken by the party leadership in opposing Congress nominee N Kiran Kumar Reddy as the Speaker of the Assembly. The party’s image had taken a severe beating with such wrong decisions, he said.
“You should have consulted senior leaders of the party before taking decisions on such important issues. But, you are surrounded by a bunch of buffoons and thotti gang. It is unfortunate that you always go by their advice and take wrong steps,” Prasanna Kumar said in the letter. He pointed out that if the TDP could get a good number of seats in the recent elections, the credit would go to Jr NTR and Nandamuri Balakrishna, grandson and son of former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao respectively, who campaigned extensively for the party
