Mothkupalli Narasimhulu to launch new Party

Vijayawada, June 14: Former minister Motkupally Narasimhulu, who was expelled from the TS Telugu Desam, has decided to float a party and will contest as an independent candidate from Alair Assembly constituency.

He told media persons on Wednesday, "TDP leaders are alleging that I have colluded with YSRC chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. I am giving a call to defeat AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu."

He felt that Naidu was shedding crocodile tears over the special status to Andhra Pradesh. He praised YSRCP President YS Jaganmohan Reddy and Jana Sen chief Pawan Kalyan for waging a fight to achieve special category status for AP.

He said he would visit the Tirumala temple and pray to Lord Venkateswara to defeat Mr Naidu. Mr Narasimhulu said he was contesting as per the wishes of the people of the Alair constituency. He claimed that TD workers were resigning from the party and extending him support.
