Peeved at ticket denial, BRS Uppal MLA raises voice of dissent

The voice of dissent in Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) over the denial of the party ticket to contest the forthcoming Assembly elections continues to grow shriller more than a week since the announcement of candidates by the party leadership on August 21.

On Tuesday, sitting MLA from Uppal Bethi Subhas Reddy, who has been denied ticket this time as the party leadership favoured Bandaru Laxma Reddy, sought to know why he was denied a ticket, although party president and Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao had told specifically cited that various reasons, including surveys and performance reports, were considered while making the decision to change certain sitting MLAs this time.

Mr.Subhash Reddy spoke to newspersons after meeting his followers at his residence here and alleged that “rowdies and goondas” were given tickets by the party but he had never resorted to any corruption or irregularities and had been with the party since its inception. He stated that he would wait for 10 days and chalk out his future course of action in case the leadership failed to address his issue.
