The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will announce its candidates for the MLC elections in the graduates’ and teachers’ constituencies, scheduled to be held in March, party’s State general secretary S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy told the media here on Sunday.
Referring to the Bharat Jodo Yatra launched by the Congress, Mr. Vishnuvardhan Reddy said that the Congress had spoiled Andhra Pradesh and Rahul Gandhi should tender an apology to the people before entering the State. “The Bharat Joro Yatra is aimed at bringing back all the old timers of Congress back into its party fold,” he said.
Some MLAs from the north coastal Andhra have started a ‘resignation drama’ seeking development of the region, he said. “If these MLAs are so committed to the cause of development of their region, why should they wait for the consent of Chief Minister Y.S. Jaqgan Mohan Reddy to resign? They can straight away tender their resignations in the Speaker Format,” said the BJP leader.
