In a shocking development, AICC member and senior Congress leader Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy tendered his resignation to the Party positions - he was a coordination committee and PCC executive committee member - on Wednesday expressing his disappointment at the recent PCC appointments.
Reddy faxed his resignation letter to the AICC chief Sonia Gandhi, AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi, PCC Chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy and Opposition leader in the Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir.
He alleged in the letter that the TPCC Chief Uttam Kumar Reddy had acted unilaterally in filling the positions. Stating that the High Command had approached only Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and Renuka Chowdhary, Sudhakar Reddy lamented that the high command was not recognizing seniors like him working for the Party for the last several years.
It is learnt that Shabbir Ali had tried to convince Sudhakar Reddy to not hurry and take any extreme decision.
