Barely a few weeks after the defiance of MLA N Prasannakumar Reddy, another prominent leader of the Telugu Desam Party Talasani Srinivas Yadav raised a banner of revolt against the party leadership.A day ahead of the party’s workshop for the review of the election debacle, Yadav created a sensation by speaking against the party leadership.
He is understood to have decided to write a letter to party chief N Chandrababu Naidu asking him to revert to its earlier stand of supporting an integratedState. The decision was a fall out of a meeting organised by him at his farmhouse in Turkapalli on the outskirts of the city.
According to sources close to him,
he called a meeting of about 400 to 500 of his constituency leaders and workersat the farmhouse where he spoke his mind on the functioning of the party. He reportedly stated that if the party continues to support the T-issue it would meet another debacle in the Greater Hyderabad elections. The party had lost the support of the settlers in the City and to appease them, they had to distance themselves from the T-issue, the former MLA said.
Yadav has stated that the party had won a seat in the 2004 General Elections in the City and won the Secunderabad seat in the 2008 bypoll with the integrated State slogan.But it lost badly in the 2009 General Elections by allying with the TelanganaRashtra Samiti. If it continues the same stand would face rout in the capital city. Under such circumstances it would not be possible for him to continue in the party and would write the same to the party president, he informed his supporters.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that the Yadav’s revolt is a strategic one which has the support of some leaders of the party. The leaders who are against the party’s support to the Telangana issue are backing Talasani Srinivas Yadav.
Their intention is to bring pressure on party president Chandrababu Naidu to disassociate itself from the Telangana issue and their intention was to make it an issue in the workshop beginning tomorrow. However, the Telugu Desam Party leaders alleged that the banner of revolt by Yadav was a handiwork of the Congress party. In fact Yadav was singing the refrain of integrated State for quite a long time and the Congress wants to use him as a pawn against Telugu Desam Party.
