As expected, senior leader and former minister Mothkupalli Narasimhulu was on Monday expelled from Telugu Desam Party for making serious allegations against party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, besides allegedly degrading the party.
TDP Telangana unit president L Ramana told media persons in Vijayawada during the second day of party’s annual conclave Mahanadu that the party had decided to expel Mothkupalli from the party after giving him a long rope to mend his ways.
“He has been going to extreme lengths to defame the party and its president. He has betrayed the party and his comments have done a lot of damage to the party. Hence, the decision,” Ramana said.
The TDP leader said Narasimhulu had been making strange statements against the party ever since he was denied the Governor’s post.
“In fact, Naidu had done a lot of lobbying with the Centre to get the Governor’s post to Narasimhulu. But he was demanding that he should be appointed only as Tamil Nadu governor. The Centre had not agreed for the same,” Ramana said.
He wondered how Narasimhulu equated Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao with TDP founder president N T Rama Rao.
“Is he not aware that KCR had cheated Dalits by going back on the promise of giving three acre land to them? Has Mothkupalli forgotten how the KCR government had tortured Dalits in Nerella incident?” Ramana asked.
