Hyderabad: Telangana TDP leader E Dayakar Rao gave a jolt to the party leadership as he hinted at quitting the party in protest against the attitude of party president N Chandrababu Naidu and accusing him of not taking steps to contain desertions from the party in the region.
This forced the TDP to take a quick decision to constitute a coordination committee for Telangana.
Even as Naidu rushed senior party leaders like Revuri Prakash Reddy and Garikipati Ramamohan Rao to the miffed leader’s house to pacify him, Dayakar Rao faxed his resignation letter from the post of convenor of TTDP Forum. This fuelled speculations that he was about to join the TRS or the BJP. However, after a day-long drama, Rao announced that he never contemplated to quit the TDP. He said he would continue to be in the party and fight. He said he was unhappy that the party leadership did not take any measures to set the house in order even when many leaders had started quitting the party.
The proposed committee consisting of Dayakar Rao, Motkupalli Narsimhulu, L Ramana, Revuri Prakash Reddy and R Chandrasekhar Reddy would focus attention on strengthening the party in the region, contain desertions and work out strategies for municipal and general elections, said the sources.
Meanwhile, Rao received telephone calls from his workers opposing any move to quit the TDP.
Rao had demanded constitution of a separate TDP unit for Telangana before the general election.
