Ahead of the elections in AP, the ruling YSRCP suffers heavy blows every day. Another MLC left the party. A prominent party leader from Hindupur and MLC Mohammad Iqbal has resigned from the party. He announced his resignation from the primary membership of YCP and the post of MLC.
To this extent, the resignation letter was sent to the chairman of the Legislative Council. In the letter, the chairman of the council was asked to accept the resignation letter immediately.
He has reportedly left the ruling party due to discrimination and marginalizing him, besides serving the party for years with all commitment.
In Hindupur assembly constituency, represented by two-time MLA Nandamuri Bala Krishna, he is the prominent YCP face. In 2019 assembly elections, he contested against Bala Krishna as YCP candidate and gave a tough fight to the TDP. Though the constituency is known as a stronghold for TDP, he had obtained about 75,000 votes.
Impressed by his fight against TDP in the elections, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy rewarded him by making him MLC. But, of late, it seemsYCP leadership started ignoring him.
He was replaced as constituency incharge with a BC leader, Deepika. In the present elections she was given the assembly seat, ignoring the claims of Iqbal, said to be due to internal factional strife in YCP.
Since then it is known that Mohammad Iqbal is unhappy with not being given a ticket and not getting priority in the party. Mohammad Iqbal, who has been silent for the past few days, announced his resignation from the party and the post of MLC on Friday.
Already two YCP MLCs like Janga Krishnamurthy and Vamsi Krishna have resigned from the party. While, Vamsikrishna is joining Jana Sena, Janga Krishnamurthy announced to join TDP.
