In significant, fast-moving political developments, the TRS is preparing to expel its senior leader and MP D. Srinivas from the party.
Nizamabad district (old) MLAs, MLCs and other leaders met at TRS MP K. Kavitha’s residence in Nizamabad on Wednesday and passed a resolution requesting the TRS chief and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to remove Mr Srinivas from primary membership of the party and take disciplinary action against him for his anti-party activities.
They sent the resolution to Mr Rao who at the last minute cancelled his appointment with Mr Srinivas.
Ms Kavitha, the daughter of the CM, speaking to the media in Nizamabad, alleged that Mr Srinivas is encouraging TRS workers and leaders to join other parties.
She said that Mr Srinivas did nothing for the party and his existence in the party or exit maked no difference.
The 69-year-old Srinivas was a Congress veteran having led the party to victory as APCC chief in the 2004 and 2009 elections. He quit the Congress and joined the TRS in 2015.
Though Srinivas was made Rajya Sabha MP, he had been uncomfortable in the TRS. It was common knowledge that he felt suffocated as he did not get the due importance in party affairs.
It is learnt that he had also tried to meet KCR to talk over matters with him, but was not able to get an appointment.
