A piqued former minister and senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders Tammineni Seetharam deserted his parent TDP on Thursday, plunging the party into crisis in north Telangana area only to strengthen the newly-formed Praja Rajyam party, floated by film actor Chiranjivi.
He joined the Praja Rajyam in the presence of Chiranjivi and other senior politicians who have recently pledged support to the film actor.
In his resignation letter sent to TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, Seetharam expressed his "deep displeasure" over the functioning of the party. He specifically blamed K Yerran Naidu for keeping the party under his thumb. Naidu, he said, had been giving importance to those who were causing damage to the party.
The party ideals, enunciated by N T Rama Rao, were conspicuously absent now, he said. That led to his deserting the party and deciding to join Praja Rajyam.
