Former Congress MLA Gunti Venkateswara Prasad, who
represented Railway Kodur (SC) constituency from 2004-09, is all set to
join YSR Congress Party during Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy's tour of
the constituency on Thursday.
Jagan invited
Dr.
Prasad invited Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy for lunch in his house at Chitvel
on May 17 after conveying his decision to join YSRCP, according to
informed sources.
Efforts prove futile
The
former MLA decided to quit the Congress and efforts by Rajampet MP A.
Sai Prathap and Minister for Endowments C. Ramachandraiah, to ensure his
continuance in the ruling party proved futile.
Denied ticket
Dr.
G.V. Prasad who contended for Congress ticket for Railway Kodur, in the
by-elections slated on June 12, stayed away from Congress election
campaign so far as he was peeved at the party nominating Kanaparthi
Easwaraiah, who unsuccessfully contested in several elections, on the
recommendation of Congress MLC B. Chengalrayulu. The former MLA stayed
away from Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy's recent tour of Railway
Kodur segment.
