Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, who recently quit the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and also resigned to the post of Mangalagiri MLA, on December 30 (Saturday) revealed his intention to follow in the footsteps of Y.S. Sharmila, sister of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, at a time when speculation is rife that she is all set to join the Congress party.
Calling himself a devotee and ardent fan of her father and former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, RK, as he is popularly known in the political circles, said he had a bitter experience in the YSRCP, but would continue to be with the YSR family, and not blame anyone, including Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, for what had happened to him.
However, he sent out a clear message that the YSRCP government’s obsession with welfare practically brought development to a halt, by insisting that it was evident from the manner in which the Mangalagiri constituency was deprived of funds for development.
