No plans to quit TDP, will stay and fight for Telangana: Nagam

Telangana Telugu Desam Forum convenor Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Monday denied that he was contemplating quitting the Telugu Desam Party and join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.

Reacting on the reports which have appeared in a section of the press that he had developed differences with TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu over the issue of Telangana, Mr Janardhan Reddy said that these reports were unfounded. He also categorically stated that he has no differences with Mr Naidu over the issue of Telangana state formation.

He said that he would fight for Telangana by staying in TDP.  

According to reports, former MP and TRS senior leader Jitender Reddy had a telephonic conversation with Mr Janardhan Reddy on Sunday and invited him to join TRS as TDP was working for integration of state and there was no point in continuing in that party and fighting for Telangana.

Later, Nagam Janardhan Reddy has convened a meeting at his residence along with Telangana senior TDP leaders to discuss the future course of plan.

Reacting seriously on Telangana TDP Forum members convening a parallel meeting, Chandrababu Naidu declared that he was ready to let go of the leaders who were trying to break the party.

He also made it clear that he has no objection if some of them fight for Telangana state going to any extreme. 

Following the serious posture adopted by the party president, Mr Janardhan Reddy has withdrawn his plans of quitting the TDP, the reports said.
