Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress party MP from Narasapuram parliamentary constituency Kanumuru Raghurama Krishnam Raju, who is awaiting a disciplinary action from the party anytime from now, received a jolt from the party.
Even as the petition of YSRC seeking to disqualify Raghurama Krishnam Raju is still pending with Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, the party has started clipping his wings one after the other.
First, the party has written to the Speaker to replace the Narasapuram MP with Machilipatnam MP V Balashowry as the chairman of parliamentary standing committee on subordinate legislation.
In the latest move, the YSRC requested the Speaker for a reshuffle of seats in the Lok Sabha and it was implemented with effect from Friday. Accordingly, Raghurama Krishnam Raju was pushed to the back rows from his existing seat.
Earlier, the MP had been allotted the seat no. 379 in the fourth row in the Lok Sabha. Now, he has been shifted to seventh row with seat number 445, which was earlier allotted to Bellana Chandrasekhar, YSRC MP from Vizianagaram.
Now, Chandrasekhar has been moved to seat number 421 in the same row and Eluru MP Kotagiri Sridhar who was given this seat has been moved to seat no. 385.
Rajahmundry MP Margani Bharat, who was earlier allotted seat no. 385 has now replaced Raghurama Krishnam Raju in seat no. 379.
Though the reshuffle of seats hardly makes any difference for the party or the MP, it is evident that the YSRC leadership does not want Raju to occupy the front rows and fall in the eyes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah.
