Now, Balineni had resigned as the Regional Coordinator for YSR Congress in Chittoor, Tirupati, and Nellore constituencies. He cited his busy schedule as the reason but this resignation has become a point of discussion in the party.

Balineni was a minister in the Congress government when Jagan floated YSR Congress. He resigned and contested By-election for Jagan. Now, the same Jagan Mohan Reddy has insulted him by removing him from the cabinet while promoting his Juniors.

Discussions are on in the constituency if Balineni will be leaving the party very soon.
