YSR Congress party senior leader Konatala Ramakrishna, who initially has asked his party cadres to maintain calm over Dadi Veerabhadra rao’s arrival into party has now come open before media and said “One has to abide by party high command decision. If can’t, then he has to leave the party saying good bye.”

“I have asked our party high command not to let him join our party as we are facing problems with him since decades. But, they decide otherwise. We don’t think we can adjust and work with him for a long time. No political party survives if it fails to honor its cadres’ opinions. If, our party ignores our appeals, then I will discuss with my cadres and take a decision. I would like to abide my followers’ decision,” said Konatala Ramakrishna to media on yesterday at Anakapalli.

Though, there was ‘Mulaqat’ chance for him to meet Jagan Mohan Reddy on Sunday, he preferred not to meet him as he doesn’t want to be convinced by him over Dadi’s arrival into party. He ruled out the media reports about returning to Congress fold. But, media is abuzz with the news about his proposed meeting with Congress high command at New Delhi today. TDP also sends its leaders to invite him into party.

Konatala is expecting MP ticket for himself and MLA ticket for his brother Lakshmi Narayana at Anakapalli constituency and MLA ticket for Gandi Babji from Pendurthi in Vizag west constituency. Probably Congress may meet his first two demands but may not give any assurance to his last one, as there are several contestants within at Pendurthi constituency. Konatala may clear the air within couple of days.

However, so far no reaction was observed from either Vijayamma or from any of the senior leaders of the party over Konatala’s appeals and protests, which hints the party has lost interest in him.
