Resigning from the Praja Rajyam Party(PRP), T Devender Goud today announced his decision to return to his parent party TDP along with his associates and followers to strengthen their fight against the ’oppressive Congress’ and evolve an alternate to it both at the national and state levels.
Mr Goud, along with his associates and followers, will formally join the TDP on August 6.
Admitting that he had committed a ’’historical blunder’’ by ’’hastily’’ quitting the party and not considering its decision to support separate Telangana State later, Mr Goud, who had sent his resignation to PRP President Chiranjeevi, told a meeting of his followers at his residence that ’’there is an urgent need for building a strong alternative to the Congress at the national and state levels’’.
He hailed TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu as the ’’hero’’, who sustained the party in the face of adverse political situation with ’’political sagacity’’. ’’We shall take this as an opportunity to fight the oppressive Congress, which has conspired to deny any space to Opposition in the state,’’ he claimed.
The ruling Congress was adopting ’’divide and rule’’ policy like the Britishers, Mr Goud alleged, adding, ’’We have grown in the TDP.We are not going there for the sake of power. We have decided to take to the thorny path. Power is not an end in politics.I know very well about the TDP. It has not neglected sincere leaders and workers.
People will recognise and reward leaders and workers who work sincerely for their welfare.’’ A day after actor-turned-politician and former union minister U V Krishnam Raju had quit the PRP, Mr Goud had a one-to-one meeting with the PRP President on Saturday last.
Mr Goud had merged his Nava Telangana Party, which he had floated soon after quitting the TDP to espouse the cause of separate Telangana State, with the PRP.
The backward classes leader had unsuccessfully contested for the Lok Sabha from Malkajgiri and to the state Assembly from Ibrahimpatnam in the recent simultaneous elections.Mr Goud, who had started his political career as Chairman of Ranga Reddy District Zilla Parishad in 1988, rose to hold key posts in the TDP, including membership of the TDP Polit Bureau, the highest decision-making body before he left the party.
He had also worked as minister in the Cabinets of TDP Founder N T Rama Rao and later N Chandrababu Naidu, handling, among other portfolios, Home, Backward Classes Welfare and Revenue.
