Dissident TDP leader calls on CM

Hyderabad, Nov 4 : Suspended Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Kovvur MLA N Prasanna Kumar Reddy, who had raised the banner of revolt, dashing off open letters to party president N Chandrababu Naidu, today called on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah.

Later, Mr Reddy told mediapersons that he called on Mr Rosaiah to plead for construction of a barrage in his constituency. He had earlier taken up the matter with late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and wanted Mr Rosaiah to ensure early launch of the project.

He claimed that continuing the winning streak, the Congress party would bag a majority of the wards in the November 23 civic polls in in Hyderabad.

Earlier, Mr Reddy, shooting off a series of letters, urged TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu to step down from the post on the principle of one-man-one post and make Mr Naidu's brother-in-law, actor Balakrishna the party president to boost the sagging image of the party after the drubbed it received in the May last Lok Sabha and assembly elections.
