Konda couple denies leaving YSR Congress Party

Hyderabad, May 14, 2013: The Konda couple, MLC Konda Murali and his wife Konda Surekha, on Tuesday denied news reports of their leaving the YSR Congress party and made it clear they would continue to be active members of the party.

“There is no truth in the news reports that we are leaving the YSRCP. The question of leaving it doesn’t arise at all. We will continue to stand by the YSR family and strive to achieve the aim of making the party chief Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy CM,” they told reporters after meeting him in the Chanchalguda jail here.

Asserting they do not have any unhappiness, Murali and Surekha said Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy had advised them on certain issues and they would go by his advice. “We will continue to stand by the Party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma and Smt. Sharmila and do our best for the growth of the party,” they said, requesting the people not to mistake them.

YSRCP MLA Balineni Srinivasa Reddy also accompanied them when the couple called on the Party chief at the jail. Murali and Surekha also met Smt. Vijayamma at her Lotus Pond residence on Monday and discussed party issues with her.
