A Revanth Reddy, who was divested of all the posts in the Telangana Telugu Desam Party, was completely isolated. On one hand he was the only one present at the meeting of the TTDlP which he had convened on the State Assembly premises. On the other hand, the remaining two TDP MlAs attended the meeting convened by the State TDP president l Ramanna at a star hotel in the city.
The meeting was also attended by four MlAs of the BJP and the two parties also decided to work together in the winter session of the State assembly starting from tomorrow.
Revanth Reddy was sacked as the TTDlP leader and State party working president following the reports that he was planing to join Congress party.
Though Ramanna had invited Revant to attend Thursday’s meeting as an ordinary MlA he did not turn up. Originally, the TDP had 15 members in Telangana assembly but now only three are left as 12 members have defected to the ruling TRS.
After the meeting, the BJP floor leader G Kishan Reddy told the media that the two parties will work together to corner the Government during the assembly session. "TDP-BJP will play a crucial role in the session", he said. TDP MlA Sandra Venkat Veeraiah said that two parties will raise the issues of farmers and incident of police beating up Dalits in Nerella village in Sricilla.
