Reddy along with his supporters met national president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and submitted his resignation soon after first round of meeting.

The move came on a day when Naidu had called the party's Telangana leaders including Revanth to Amaravati, to discuss the party affairs.

Several TDP leaders including state president L Ramna and M Narasimhulu were demanding that Revanth be expelled from the party for his open moves to cross over to Congress.

It is said that the reason for him to switch sides is reportedly because the TDP supremo N Chandrababu was exploring the possibility of a tie-up with TRS for the 2019 general elections.

However Naidu who was addressing a press conference, said that he has not received the resignation letter.

"People come and go. Party stays. Few people based on their present needs take certain decisions," Naidu said.

Reddy, whose entry into the Congress seems certain now, played it safe while quitting the TDP by not ruffling any feathers.

Reddy will announce his future course of action after meeting his cadre in Kodangal, his constituency.
