Former TDP MLA to join YSR Congress
VISAKHAPATNAM: Changala Venkat Rao, former TDP MLA from Pyakaraopeta, resigned from the party on Saturday and is scheduled to join YSR Congress in the presence of Y S Vijayamma on October 15. The resignation of the two time MLA ( 1999, 2004) did not go too well with the party cadre in the district, some of whom burnt his effigy.
According to Venkata Rao, the party did not repose faith in him during the recent by-elections resulting in him losing by a whopping 17,000 plus margin to Golla Babu Rao, who defeated him earlier in 2009 by a slender margin of 600 votes.
He said the YSR Congress has promised him the Pyakaraopeta ticket for the next elections.
