Jana Sena Party former corporator Peethala Murthy Yadav addressing the media in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday
Visakhapatnam: Former Jana Sena Party corporator Peethala Murthy Yadav resigned from the party’s membership, expressing disappointment over a lack of recognition for his years of hard work and commitment to the party. Speaking to the media in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday, Murthy Yadav said he had worked tirelessly for the Jana Sena Party over the years but was deeply hurt by the leadership’s failure to recognise his contributions.
Recalling his association with the party, he said he was among the few leaders who faced police cases and imprisonment during the previous YSR Congress Party government for going to the Visakhapatnam Airport to welcome Jana Sena chief K. Pawan Kalyan. He alleged that the police had booked cases against those who participated in the welcome programme and sent them to jail.
He expressed anguish that several others who faced imprisonment during the same episode were offered positions in the party and government, while he was not even given an opportunity to contest as a corporator again in the recently concluded GVMC polls.
Murthy Yadav highlighted his legal battles to protect valuable government and public properties in Visakhapatnam and the Uttarandhra region. He recalled filing several Public Interest Litigations (PILs) to expose alleged irregularities and prevent the misuse of public assets.
He also referred to his legal fight concerning the controversial Rushikonda palace constructed during the previous YSRCP government. He alleged that former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had pursued legal action to prevent him from entering the premises.
Similarly, he recalled challenging the multi-storey construction allegedly undertaken by former YSRCP MP M V V Satyanarayana on land belonging to the CBCNC Christian organisation, claiming that his legal intervention helped halt the project.
