Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao’s episode in the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) ended on a sour note, with the sitting MLA from Malkajgiri sending his resignation letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao after publicly abusing Minister for Health T. Harish Rao on the day the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) announced party tickets exactly a month ago.
Mr. Hanumantha Rao was expecting a call from the Chief Minister to settle the differences he had developed with Mr. Harish Rao over the Medak Assembly seat, which he wanted for his son Mynampalli Rohit. However, the ticket was allotted to sitting MLA Padma Devender Reddy after BRS chief Chandrasekhar Rao decided to renominate the majority of sitting MLAs.
The ‘abusive drama’ on the divine hills of Tirumala left the BRS cadre in shock and the BRS leadership in confusion over dealing with it as Mr. Hanumantha Rao was considered close to the Chief Minister. KCR’s daughter and family friend Kavitha Kalvakuntla reached out to him to calm him down and urged him to issue a public apology to Mr. Harish Rao but it did not fructify.
