YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLA from Chintalapudi Assembly constituency in Eluru district V.R. Eliza on March 24 (Sunday) joined the Congress party in the presence of its State president Y.S. Sharmila. Later, speaking to the media, Mr. Eliza said that he had sent his resignation to the YSRCP leadership. He said he chose to walk out of the ruling party as he was unable to ‘adjust’ with the local party leaders.
“I was completely ignored and subjected to humiliations in the party. I was not invited to the local programme and even my name was erased from the plaques erected as part of inaugural programmes. I reported it to the party leadership but there was no result,” he said, adding that though he worked relentlessly for development of the party, he was let down by the leadership.
