Followers of Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, who had resigned from his post of Mangalagiri MLA as well as from his primary membership of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) on Monday, followed suit by submitting their resignations en masse in the Mangalagiri Assembly constituency, causing a bigger dent in the ruling party’s Amaravati unit.
It may be noted that even as Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy is yet to announce his next move, his followers who hold various posts in the ruling party have all stepped down in a show of solidarity, stating that they would stand by him wherever he goes.
Second-rung leaders like M. Prakash (SC Cell), B. Anil (ST Cell) and Bathula Dasu (BC Cell) tendered their resignations soon after Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy announced his decision on Monday.
