After Dr Rajasekhar Reddy’s death in 2009, he said he moved along with chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said that the YSR Congress had given him ticket in 2014 and 2019 from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency. He won both the elections, he said and thanked Jagan Mohan Reddy for the ticket.
Meanwhile, Assembly speaker Sitaram told media persons that his office had received the resignation of Ramakrishna Reddy. He said he would speak to the MLA and then decide. “Giving resignation letter does not mean I have to accept it. I will go through it and take a decision,” the speaker told the media persons.
