TDP district leader quits to join actor's 'party'

Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, Apr 30 (UNI) The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in East Godavari district received another jolt today with TDP District Minority Cell President Shaik Subhan quitting the party and declaring his intention to join Actor Chiranjivi's proposed political party.

He told the media, he was attracted by the actor's ideology in rendering service to the downtrodden, backward and other sections.

Confirming the resignation, TDP District President Nimmakayala China Rajappa said it was quite expected as Mr Subhan had been keeping away from the party activities for quite some time and had not even attended the last week's general body meeting.

Mr Subhan was the fourth district level leader who left the party within a fortnight with the intention of joining the actor's party.

The first leader to resign from the party was District Organising Secretary Pantham Gandhi Mohan followed by District TDP Chief Jyothula Nehru and Party Coordinating Secretary Gokati Rambabu.

Several divisional level leaders and important cadre inPeddapuram, Amalapuram, Kakinada, Rajahmundry and Rampachodavaram Revenue Divisions have already quit the party announcing their support for the megastar.
