The Telangana Rashtra Samiti leaders are demanding the resignation of the party president, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, as he failed to steer the party to victory. The TRS Mahbubnagar unit president, Mr Y. Srinivasa Reddy, demanded that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao step down immediately. He alleged that Mr Rao turned the party into a family affair and ignored the Telangana movement. He demanded that Mr Rao should explain why he did not visit Mahbubnagar after the general elections.

“Mr Chandrasekhar Rao built a family dynasty under the guise of Telangana movement. He has given several tickets to family members including his son Mr K.T. Rama Rao. What is the contribution of Mr Rama Rao to the Telangana movement? What is the criteria behind the selection of candidates?” Mr Srinivasa Reddy wanted to know.

“I don’t understand why Mr Chandrasekhar Rao failed to thank the people of Mahbubnagar after being elected from there. No one knows where he is. Mr Chandrasekhar Rao is reportedly hiding in New Delhi fearing that he would face the wrath of party leaders. He did not even conduct a review after the elections. This is not the way to lead a party,” he added.

Interestingly, Mr Srinivasa Reddy held his media conference at Telangana Bhavan on Monday.
