Days after meeting Rahul Gandhi, Medchal Malkajgiri District Congress Committee president and Malkajgiri ticket aspirant Nandhikanti Sridhar resigned from the party on Monday. He sent his resignation letter to party president Mallikarjun Kharge.
He is likely to join the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). In the resignation letter, Mr.Sridhar alleged that there was no place for Backward Classes in the Congress party. Despite working hard for the party for the last 10 years and braving cases from sitting MLA Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao, the party ignored him and chose to admit the latter.
Reminding the Congress party’s stand that only one member of the family will be given party ticket, he asked how new entrant Hanumantha Rao was promised two tickets — one for himself and another for his son, Rohit. “Is this not injustice,” he asked and said he didn’t see any hope of justice in the Congress for Backward Classes.
