The dissidence within the TRS in the Munugode Assembly constituency which will have a bypoll in the wake of the resignation of sitting Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy was taken to the notice of Chief Minister and party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday.
About 30 MPTCs, ZPTCs and sarpanches of TRS who were opposed to former MLA Kusukuntla Prabhakar Reddy as party candidate for the bypoll gathered at the residence of Energy Minister G. Jagdish Reddy here during the day to convey their displeasure with Mr. Prabhakar Reddy. Some of them had already written to Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao as senior party leaders dropped hints that Mr. Prabhakar Reddy was likely to be the candidate again though he had lost the 2018 Assembly elections.
The leaders made their point clear to Mr. Jagdish Reddy that they would not work for Mr. Prabhakar Reddy if he was given the ticket.
