VIZIANAGARAM: Five days ahead of polling to MLC (Graduate Constituency), the Telugu Desam Party received a jolt from Yedla Ramana Murty, the party's State joint secretary and Vizianagaram ZPTC member, who announced that he would distance himself from active politics in the district.
Mr. Murty, however, said he would continue in the party as an ordinary member.
Announcing the decision at a press conference at his residence on Monday, Mr. Murty said that he had taken the decision with a heavy heart as the party polit bureau member P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju and district president Kolla Lalitha Kumari did not recommend his candidature for the MLC (Graduate Constituency) post even after he expressed his desire.
He said that he had been with the party since its inception and worked as mandal parishad president and district president in the past whereas his contemporaries served as ministers and MLAs.
Show of strength
He said that he wrote a letter in this regard to party president N. Chandrababu Naidu and submitted a copy to Mr. Ashok.
Mr. Murty made it a point to demonstrate his strength in Vizianagaram Assembly constituency.
