Medchal District Congress Committee president and Malkajgiri Congress in-charge Nandikanti Sridhar today resigned from the party.
He announced his resignation after holding a meeting with more than 1,000 supporters at the Moulali Classic Garden function hall in the city.
Speaking on the occasion, Sridhar said, "I had thought of the Congress as my mother, but it was that mother who cheated me. I have worked for 35 years believing in the Congress. There will be no justice for the BCs in the Congress."
Pointing out that party leader Rahul Gandhi had said in the Udaipur declaration that only one party ticket would be given to a family, he asked the party high command how it was giving tickets both Mynampally Hanumanth Rao for the Malkajgiri seat, and his son Mynampally Rohith for the Medak seat.
He said that he had sent his resignation letter to the party high command.
Recent defector Mynampally Hanumanth Rao is being given the Malkajgiri ticket by the Congress and his son the Medak ticket, according to reports. Sridhar was hoping for the Malkajgiri ticket.
Medak DCC chief Kantareddy Tirupati Reddy also resigned from the Congress yesterday over the same issue.
