Repalle (Guntur district) MLA, of the TDP, Anagani Satya Prasad, skipped voting in the Rajya Sabha elections held in the state today.
He wrote a letter to party president Chandrababu Naidu and told him that he was unable to cast his vote in the elections.
He said that he had recently met TRS MLA from Telangana M Yadagiri Reddy, who had gotten infected by the coronavirus, for a business transaction, and that he was in self-quarantine due to that.
He said that he had taken the decision to avoid affecting anybody, and apologized to the party president.
Although the party leadership had issued a whip to all the MLAs asking them to cast their vote, two of the party MLAs including Satya Prasad did not cast their votes.
