Hyderabad, Dec. 13: In a rude shock to the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Saturday, the former MLA from Nagari constituency, Mr N. Doraswamy Raju, resigned from the party. He accused Mr Naidu of allowing Mr G. Muddukrishnama Naidu to contest the elections after resigning from the Congress and joining the TD. He submitted his resignation when Mr Naidu had convened a meeting of party leaders to review the political situation in his native Chittoor district.
A film producer by profession, Mr Raju represented the Nagari Assembly constituency on a TD ticket in 1994. Mr Muddukrishnama Naidu, who lost his Puttur Assembly segment during delimitation of constituencies resigned from his membership in the Assembly and joined the TD after he got an assurance from Mr Naidu to accommodate him in the neighbouring Nagari segment in the coming elections.
Mr Doraswamy Raju accused Mr Naidu of hobnobbing with Mr Muddukrishnama Naidu and allowing him to interfere in the affairs of Nagari constituency. While accusing Mr Naidu he said: "You should have taken the party cadre into confidence over this issue. You should have promised him the Chandragiri segment and not Nagari. I cannot bear this humiliation."
Later Mr Raju told this newspaper: "I stopped my film business to concentrate on party affairs. Mr Naidu’s attitude is unacceptable."
