Hari is Congress MP from Anakapalli in Visakhapatnam district and Rajamohan Reddy hails from Nellore. Both Rajamohan Reddy and Hari went to speaker Meira Kumar's chamber together where only the former submitted his papers.

Reddy informed the speaker that he was resigning to register his protest against the 'witch-hunt' unleashed against Jagan and his late father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy by the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh. Reddy's resignation came close on the heels of 26 legislators owing allegiance to Jagan quitting over the same issue.

Surprisingly, Hari came back without putting in his papers. When asked, he said he would tender his resignation probably next week or before the end of the Parliament session. He, however, did not cite any reason for postponing the decision to resign from his membership.

Denying reports of change of heart, he said: "I would resign before the closure of this Parliament session. This could be my last session as Congress MP." He also said he was waiting for another Congress MP to put in his papers. "There are 50-50 chances that the MP could quit along with me," he said. He, however, refused to elaborate further and name the MP.
