Telangana Telugu Desam Forum convenor Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Monday termed media reports that he was planning to quit from the TDP as ‘baseless’ and ‘unwarranted.’
Talking to media persons after emerging out of an hour-long meeting with party president N Chandrababu Naidu, Mr Janardhan Reddy said that there was no basis behind the speculation, which has been gathering in intensity, that he was contemplating quitting from the party over the issue of separate Telangana state formation.
Mr Janardhan Reddy said, “I will continue to remain in the TDP and fight for achieving the Telangana state while being part of the party.”
The senior also revealed that no decision has been taken yet on the demand for establishing of a separate and autonomous unit of the TDP for the Telangana region. The T TDP leaders have sought a separate wing of the party which would coordinate the leaders from the region.
Mr Janardhan Reddy however added that Mr Naidu would take a final discussion on the issue at a ‘later and appropriate time.’ He said the TDP president was consulting all Telangana leaders and seeking their opinion on the issue.
