Jayasudha is believed to have sent her resignation letter to Chief Minister yesterday, reportedly owing to her being at loggerheads with former Mayor Banda Karthika Reddy.
Jayasudha is believed to have sent her resignation letter to Chief Minister yesterday. She has been at loggerheads with former Mayor Banda Karthika Reddy and her husband, who is the Congress' choice for the MLC post.
Jayasudha was given the Secunderabad seat ticket in the last moment, keeping aside Karthika's husband, in 2009 by Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.
In the municipal elections, Karthika won and became the mayor as per the agreement Congress had had with MIM.
Jayasudha, in the meantime, wanted to join YSR Congress and there were talks about her quitting and voting against the Congress during the no confidence motion. But she changed her mind and stayed with Congress.
The differences between Jayasudha and Karthika are very much in the open.
It remains to be seen what Jayasudha will do next, and also if Congress can keep her within the fold going by the wafer-thin margin the party "enjoys" in the Assembly. (INN)
