Telangana: 13 Congress members quit posts - here’s why

Live Mint  

In a major jolt to Telangana Congress, a total of 13 party members resigned from their respective posts on Sunday, protesting the remarks of some senior leaders that those who "migrated" to Congress from other parties got prominence. These 13 PCC members include sitting Congress MLA Danasari Anasuya and former legislator Vem Narendar Reddy, according to the news agency PTI. In an apparent reference to some of the former TDP leaders who joined the Congress, former deputy chief minister in undivided Andhra Pradesh Damodar Rajanarasimha on Saturday sought to know what message would it give to "original Congress activists" if those who "migrated" to the Congress from other parties got prominence. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President, Revanth Reddy without directly responding to reporters' queries on the internal bickering, said the party's high command will look into all the issues.
