Malkajgiri DCC president and party contestant from the constituency for 2014 Assembly polls, Nandikanti Sridhar, has resigned from Congress party’s primary membership and as DCC chief. Sridhar sent a letter of resignation to AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, expressing his disappointment over the party’s ticket allotment in the upcoming Assembly elections. He mentioned that the party has not followed the Udaipur declaration, which states that only one person per family can be given a ticket to contest in elections. However, in Malkajgiri and Medak, one family has been granted two tickets, one for Hanumanth Rao and one for his son.
Sridhar had hoped to receive the ticket for the Malkajgiri constituency but was let down after MLA Mynampally Hanumantha Rao joined the party BRS. Sridhar’s hopes were further shattered when Congress confirmed the MLA two tickets, including one for his son from the Medak segment.
