The PCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana has announced expulsion of nine party MLAs supporting YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for their anti-party activities.
Speaking to the media here on Friday, Botcha said the party would not bother about leaders, who sold themselves to others for money. He said his party was not like the TDP, which he said, talks differently every day about its leaders. He said the party expelled these nine MLAs as they were aligning with Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. He said Speaker Nadendla Manohar would look into the need for disqualifying them.
Observers say that the PCC chief had taken this decision as the party got the desired results in the cooperative elections.
It may be mentioned here that several Congress MLAs had recently walked into the YSR Congress. The expelled MLAs include, Dwarampudi Chandrasekhara Reddy, Buchepalli Sivaprasada Reddy, Ravi Kumar, Alla Nani, Sujay Krishna Ranga Rao, Perni Nani and Muddala Rajesh.
Nine MLAs, who won in the 2009 elections on Congress ticket had already announced their decision to join the YSR Congress. Some of them even sent in their resignations to the party and the Assembly. (NSS)
