Andhra Pradesh: YSRC rebel MP K Raghurama Krishnam Raju may quit Lok Sabha, party

VIJAYAWADA: YSR Congress MP from Narasapuram, K Raghurama Krishnam Raju is said to have decided to quit both party and Lok Sabha seat.

This is likely to happen either on January 6 or 7. Interestingly, Raghurama Krishnam Raju has neither denied nor confirmed it during his interaction with a section of media in the last two days.

Sources close to the rebel MP said Raju might join BJP shortly and begin his onslaught on Jagan government in his home state. In fact, he has been doing the same for the last two-and-a-half years despite being in the YSR Congress party. He went on record even on the floor of the Lok Sabha raising questions against the AP government.

The sources said the rebel MP has decided to quit as his presence at a meeting of Amaravati activists in Tirupati had given an advantage to the YSR Congress to file a disqualification petition before the Lok Sabha speaker afresh.
