Hyderabad, Aug 10, 2013: Protesting against the stance of the Congress towards the Telugu people, YSR Congress party president Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma on Saturday quit their Lok Sabha and Assembly seats respectively.

While Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy faxed his letter of resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker through jail authorities, Smt.Vijayamma alaso faxed her quit letter to the Assembly Speaker.

Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy and Smt. Vijayamma have been representing Kadapa Lok sabha seat and Pulivendula assembly seat respectively.

The resignations were announced by party senior leader Mekapati Rajamohana Reddy at a media conference at Lotus Pond.

Alleging that Congress Party has further complicated the State issue by announcing Telangana formation unilaterally without consulting the stake holders and without trying to solve the division issues such as water, power and the status of Hyderabad, both of them said in an open letter they had quit protesting against the Congress leadership taking decisions unilaterally on the one hand and TDP playing political dramas and playing with the lives of the Seema Andhra people on the other.

 “We have been advocating time and again that the Centre should first spell out its stand and the proposal should be put forth for discussion before all stake holders and political parties before taking a final decision which would be agreeable to all parties concerned. But that was not the case,” they said in the open letter.
