Senior Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader and Rajya Sabha member D Srinivas has lost his patience over the inordinate delay on the part of party president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in deciding his fate in the party.
DS wrote to the TRS chief to take a decision on whether he should continue in the party or be suspended.
“Please suspend me immediately, if you think the allegations levelled against me by your daughter and Nizamabad MP K Kavitha and the other party leaders from the district are true. If you cannot suspend me, then please reject the resolution passed by these leaders seeking action against me,” he said.
The veteran leader asserted that he did not want to resign from the party on his own.
“If I quit the party, it amounts to accepting these allegations against me,” he said.
The MP said he had a clean image in politics and everybody in the district knew what kind of person he was.
“I already told the chief minister twice in the past that I have absolutely no control over the political decisions taken by my sons. They are grown-up and are capable of taking their own decisions. What can I do if my son joins the BJP? I have never asked my followers or the local TRS cadre to support my son,” he said.
DS sought to know what anti-party activities he had indulged in.
“Let them explain what harm I had done to the party. It is not proper for them to target me, keeping something else in their mind,” he said.
He said he had never aspired for Rajya Sabha nomination.
“All that I wanted was due recognition in the party. And I worked for the party like a disciplined soldier. They cannot find a better Telangana activist than me. I had demanded for separate statehood to Telangana way back in 2000, when KCR was deputy chief minister,” he pointed out.
