Vishweshwar Reddy, TRS MP from Chevella Konda, resigned from Telanagana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Tuesday. He said that he was disappointed with the party at various levels.
Vishweshwar Reddy said in a letter addressed to TRS president, caretaker and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), “I was forced into the position of contemplating leaving the party despite the fact that today Telanagana Rashtra samithi (TRS) enjoys significant goodwill in the social circles that we are in.” He added, “I thought long and hard about this step before deciding to take this major decision and analysed the scenario by listing my disappointments at the various levels. I started to feel (especially in the last 2 years), that we as a party were becoming more and more distant, from the very people, whom we had once represented extremely well. We as a government were becoming inaccessible to the people.”
Vishweshwar Reddy in the letter also added that there were 5 primary reasons why he chose to leave TRS, which includes injustice to karyakarthas who worked for Telangana statehood, constituency, state and the party.
Vishweshwar Reddy further added, “I will respect you for your struggle for the separate Telangana and your achievement. I feel happy that history will remember you always as a leader who led the struggle, achieved Telangana.”
He said he would also resign from the Lok Sabha. Vishweshwar Reddy is a first time MP. He won the Chevella Lok Sabha seat in 2014.
The assembly elections are going to be held in Telangana on 7th December.
