Silpa Chakrapani Reddy Dares Turncoats To Seek Fresh Mandate

Nandyal: YSR Congress Party leader Silpa Mohan Reddy's brother Silpa Chakrapani Reddy announced that he quit his MLC Post, at the public meeting attended by party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Speaking at the meeting, Silpa Chakrapani said on the instructions of YS Jagan he relinquished MLC Post elected only a few months ago from the ruling TDP. He threw a challenge to all YSR Congress MLAs who joined the TDP to quit their membership and fight the elections afresh. He dared defector Buddha Rajasekhara Reddy to seek fresh mandate. "I became MLC 90 days back. I have submitted my resignation in speaker's format," he said.

"Many leaders including Bhuma Nagi Reddy and Buddha Rajasekhar developed political career with the blessings of former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. But they ditched YS Jagan," he said and warned all the defectors will face public anger in the next elections.

He appealed to the people of Nandyal to vote in favour of his brother Silpa Mohan Reddy.
