Senior Telangana politician Dasoju Sravan resigned from the BJP on Friday after joining the saffron party recently. He is likely to join the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, formerly known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi, in the presence of TRS party working president K Taraka Rama Rao.
Dasoju Sravan submitted his resignation letter to Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday.
In his resignation letter to Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Dasoju Sravan conveyed his decision to resign from the party's primary membership. He mentioned that the way BJP was approaching the Munugode bypoll was incorrect. He said he joined the BJP with high hopes of serving the people.
Sravan claimed that while the BJP had pledged to practise "alternative politics", their strategy in the Munugode bye-election was abhorrent.
He said that the BJP was engaging in investment politics, supporting large contractors, and dispersing "money bags" out of a lack of social responsibility. "In such a situation it has become evident that there is no room for a leader like me coming from a weaker section of the society," he said.
On August 5 2022, Sravan left the Congress and claimed that the party was in complete disarray under the leadership of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A Revanth Reddy.
He recalled that he joined the Congress party in 2014 out of gratitude to Sonia Gandhi for carving out Telangana state and after being impressed by Rahul Gandhi's speech at the Jaipur chintan shivir.
Sravan said he strived hard to reach the position of party's national spokesperson. He alleged that after Revant Reddy became PCC president, the party started giving priority to leaders on the basis of caste and money power.
He later joined the BJP at a programme in New Delhi in the presence of BJP general secretary in-charge of Telangana Tarun Chugh. He had claimed that only BJP could be an alternative to the TRS in Telangana.
