Balineni Srinivas Reddy sent his resignaation letter via email to Jagan Mohan Reddy. It is reported that he has been unhappy with Jagan’s approach to managing the party.
Balineni had been upset with YCP’s high command ever since the conclusion of the general elections. He was disappointed as he didn’t get enough support from the party when he filed a petition at the court citing irregularities in the EVM and VVPAT machines at a few polling booths in Ongole.
