TRS MUM ON RAJGOPAL’S RESIGNATION

The ruling TRS maintained complete silence on the resignation of MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy to Congress as well as Legislative Assembly on Tuesday while the opposition BJP welcomed it.

None of the TRS leaders were inclined to comment on this issue stating that let Rajgopal submit his resignation to Legislative Assembly to Speaker first, let it be approved and let him join BJP to contest the bypolls.

They said it would be appropriate to comment after a clarity on all these issues emerge. However, BJP state senior leader Gudur Narayana Reddy on Tuesday stated that Rajagopal Reddy’s resignation was imminent and inevitable. He said that Rajagopal would join BJP to strengthen the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He welcomed the resignation of Rajagopal and said that it was a long awaited event. The BJP leader said that resignation of Rajagopal Reddy to Congress would lead to political realignment of politics in the state albeit much in favour of BJP. He said that those who are yet to make up their mind on joining the BJP would firm up their opinions and come to BJP’S fold.

He said that the Congress is losing its base in the country as the mother, son and daughter, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, have failed to rejuvenate the ailing Grand Old Party. He said that dynasty politics would not work anymore in the country.

“People will not accept the fourth generation leaders from one family and the pitiful status of Congress has been reflecting this fact. Congress can no more depend on the credit of bringing independence to the country. The party has to reinvent itself,” he said.

Narayana Reddy said that the people of the country, particularly people of Telangana have been reposing lot of faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He said that joining of Rajagopal into BJP would attract the entire youngsters who are still holding neutral position to join the BJP and would expand its base in the state.
