If the reports from the Telugu Desam Party are to be believed, prominent BC leader and TDP MLA from L B Nagar R Krishnaiah is most likely to call it quits from the party.
Though it is not clear about his political future, there is every possibility that he might, too, join the others to defect into the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
Krishnaiah is not happy in the TDP was evident from the way he accused TDP president and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of not supporting introduction of BC Bill in Parliament.
Krishnaiah alleged that Naidu had failed to impress upon the Centre on the BC bill issue. Despite being an important ally of the BJP government at the Centre, the TDP was not mounting pressure on the Centre in this regard, he said, adding that Naidu has been time and again going to national capital and was not talking in favour of the BC Bill.
“The BC bill should be introduced in Parliament to give 50 per cent reservation to BCs in all legislatures across the nation”, he demanded.
He also asked other parties to write a letter to the Centre to introduce BC bill. Seeking reservations in employment, he asked Telangana Government to extend welfare schemes to the BCs in the State.
He declared that he would organize a three-day Chalo Delhi program from May 5 to 7 on BC issues to mount pressure on the Centre for the bill.
