TDP MLA DA Satya Prabha responded on TDP Chittoor town President along with some Corporators joining YSR Congress Party. Speaking to the media at TDP district office in Chittoor, she accused that the members are manipulated into leaving the party. She questioned ‘Did Mapakshi Mohan not appointed as TDP town President and Agriculture Market Committee Chairman?’.

Satya Prabha also stated that it is untrue to say that TDP does not provide equal footing for BCs in the party. She also said that the corporators have to remember that they have won with TDP’s mark in 2014 election. She further added that “For those who have changed the party, the people will teach them appropriate lesson in the upcoming elections.”

Chittoor Mayor Hemalatha cleared the air about joining YSRCP. Hemalatha said that there is no chance their family joining YSRCP as long as they are alive. Hemalatha told the media that Chittoor has been developed by TDP in the past 4 years which it has not seen in 30 years. The Late Mayor Kathari Anuradha was a prolific advocate and the Mohans had been loyal to the party and sacrificed for people. Hemalatha said she would continue to work for those motives.

Deputy Mayor R Subri said, “BCs are given a proper place in TDP. TDP allocated 4 MLC seats to BCs out of 7 seats is a proof for it. The corporators are manipulated and turned against their party.”
