BC Leader R Krishnaiah's Resignation Sparks Controversy in Andhra Pradesh

BC leader R Krishnaiah’s resignation from Rajya Sabha has stirred controversy with YSRCP alleging his alliance with TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu. YSRCP leaders accuse Naidu of buying opposition members to mask governance failures and destabilize democracy. Krishnaiah, however, claims his resignation is to advance BC quotas apolitically.

BC leader R Krishnaiah's resignation from the Rajya Sabha has ignited a heated debate in Andhra Pradesh, with the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) accusing him of conspiring with TDP supremo and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The YSRCP leaders allege Naidu is purchasing leaders to overshadow his governance failures and destabilize the state's political climate.

YSRCP representatives P Anil Kumar Yadav and K Karumuri Nageswar Rao expressed their discontentment and claimed that this act of resignation will not weaken their party. They believe that the public will eventually recognize Naidu's tactics and respond accordingly.

Krishnaiah, on the other hand, stated his resignation is motivated by a desire to push for increased quotas for backward classes in a non-partisan manner, distancing himself from the YSR Congress Party's identity. His departure follows a sequence of resignations by YSRCP members, raising concerns about the party's stability.
