No Loss If Konda Couple Quit: TRS

TRS leader Gundu Sudha Rani today said that her party would not lose anything if Konda Surekha and her husband Konda Murali quit the party.

Talking to mediapersons today, Sudha Rani took serious exception to the Konda couple's remarks that the TRS chief had denied them tickets at the behest of K T Rama Rao, and termed them as baseless. She also slammed Surekha and Murali for publicly revolting against the TRS, and said that the ruling party was quite unhappy with them. It was the TRS that had given them political recognition when they were not enjoying positions in any political party, and it was quite unfair for the couple to be criticizing the party today, she said. KCR's decision on the list of 105 candidates was final, and after he had offered the Konda couple a place in the party, they could not talk against the party leadership and seek clarifications, she asserted.

"Konda Surekha is not a local, and the people in the segment are ready to support any leader except a member of the Konda family," Sudha Rani said, adding that the party leaders and activists in Warangal were ready to move forward under the leadership of KCR.
