Former MP Boora Narsaiah Goud Quits TRS To Join BJP

Former TRS MP Boora Narsaiah Goud formally quit the ruling party today.

He sent his resignation letter to the party president and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao.

In his letter, Boora told the CM that he had faced a lot of insults after he was defeated in the 2019 election for the Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency seat.

He also told the CM that the party leadership had deliberately not invited him for the self-respect meetings held by the party in the Munugodu Assembly constituency, and claimed that KCR did not take any action on the issue although he was aware of the insults being experienced by him in the party.

He told the CM that he was leaving the party as he felt that it did not need him any more.

He also told the CM that he had lost in the last general elections by a small number of votes due to the presence on the ballot paper of a bulldozer election symbol which was similar to the election symbol of the TRS, and that he would have won the election if the bulldozer symbol were not there.

Commenting on the finalisation of the party candidate for the Munugodu Assembly constituency, he told the CM that the party leadership did not consult him on the issue though he was a former MP of the constituency, which hurt him. He also said that he had demanded that the party leadership nominate a BC leader in the by-election, and asked the CM if it was wrong to make such a demand.

Claiming that some decisions of the party had brought a bad name to it, he said that all his efforts to meet the CM and bring such bad decisions to his notice had not yielded any result as it was difficult to meet KCR unless an agitation was held to do so.

Goud also told the CM that he had never raised his personal problems with him, and that he had always raised only public problems with him.

He told KCR that he had continued thus far in the party despite facing insults in the party, in order to express his gratitude to the CM for giving him a second opportunity to contest for the Lok Sabha in the last general elections.

Goud also met the national president of the BJP J P Nadda in New Delhi. He expressed his desire to join the saffron party during the meeting.
