Mekapati says he will work for TDP in next election

Udayagiri MLA Mekapati Chandra Sekhar Reddy on Saturday said that he would work for the success of the TDP in Nellore district in the next election. He said he would contest the election if the party gave him the ticket or would work for the party candidates.

Chandra Sekhar Reddy met TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh in Yuva Galam padayatra on Saturday. He discussed with Lokesh about the arrangements being made for the padayatra in Nellore district. The padayatra is scheduled to enter the Nellore district on June 13.

Chandra Sekhar Reddy said that he, along with Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy would work with the TDP leaders to make the Yuva Galam padayatra a success in Nellore district. He said that the YSR Congress Party’s defeat would start from Nellore district.

He said he had met Jagan Mohan Reddy five times and sought a ticket for him in the coming elections. However, Jagan Mohan Reddy did not give him a positive reply, he said. He further said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised to consider his name for the MLC post and not for the MLA seat.

Chandra Sekhar Reddy said that he had made several requests to Jagan Mohan Reddy to consider his candidature for the next election. However, Jagan Mohan Reddy was adamant and refused to consider his request, he said.

He said he had made up his mind to leave the YSR Congress and join the TDP. He would soon join the party and work for its victory in the coming election. He said the other MLAs, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy too would join the TDP shortly and work for the party.

Mekapati, Unadavalli deny cross voting

Ruling YSR Congress MLAs, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy and Undavalli Sridevi have denied having voted for the opposition TDP in the just-concluded MLC elections from the Assembly.

The two legislators, besides two others, were suspended from the party by the YSR Congress leadership for anti-party activities. The other two MLAs were known dissidents – Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, both from the Nellore district.

Undavalli Sridevi, who was removed from the Tadikonda Assembly constituency incharge post a few months ago, held a protest against the party’s action. Since then, she had been inactive in the party and her activities were restricted only to the budget session of the Assembly.

The YSR Congress leadership found that Sridevi had indulged in cross voting that led to the victory of the TDP candidate and defeat of the ruling party candidate. However, she appeared on a news channel on Friday morning and denied having cast the vote.

Sridevi is also said to have met Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy hours before the voting, where the chief minister had reportedly promised to help her. She is said to have been satisfied with the promise. When she appeared on the news channel, she said she would quit the party rather than doing anti-party activities.

It is to be seen how the YSR Congress had zeroed in on Sridevi for cross voting and took action against her.

Quite interestingly, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy too had denied having voted for the TDP. Swearing in the name of God, Chandrasekhar Reddy told the media persons that he would never indulge in such activities while being in the party.

If the two MLAs have not voted for the TDP. Then who did vote for the TDP from the YSR Congress? How did the YSR Congress leadership fail to lay its hands on the real black sheep and made these two legislators scapegoats?

YSRCP suspends rebel MLAs, Kotamreddy joins TDP

The ruling YSR Congress on Friday suspended four of its MLAs for cross voting in the just-concluded MLC elections from the Assembly. The party took action against the four MLAs who had voted for the TDP in the MLC election.

Party general secretary and government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told the media persons in Tadepalli that the party had conducted internal enquiry on the cross voting by the MLAs. The party found that the four MLAs, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy and Undavalli Sridevi, were found guilty of cross voting, he said.

He alleged that these four MLAs were sold out to the opposition TDP during the MLC election. He said that TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is known for purchasing MLAs and had done the same in the MLC election.

While Sridevi from Tadikonda in Guntur district had denied to have voted for the TDP, Chandrasekhar Reddy was unavailable for the party after the voting was over. Sridhar Reddy defied the party a couple of months ago and had declared that he would go by his conscience in the MLC elections. Ramanarayana Reddy did not make any statement on his preference to vote for the TDP against the party’s decision.

Meanwhile, Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy’s brother Giridhar Reddy joined the TDP in the presence of Chandrababu Naidu at the party headquarters in Mangalagiri, soon after the announcement came from the YSR Congress office on his suspension from the party.

Backed by hundreds of supporters, Giridhar Reddy joined the party and said that they would work for the party’s victory in the coming election.
