Motkupalli relents, cast his vote
Hyderabad: The sulking TDP MLA Motkupalli Narasimhulu who is upset over not getting a ticket for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections on Friday has finally relented under pressure from party leaders and casted his vote in RS polls.
Earlier Motkupalli was reluctant to come to Assembly to cast his vote when TDP leaders led by Telangana TDP forum convener Errabelli Dayakar Rao visited Motkupalli and tried to persuade him to cast his vote. Motkupalli turned down their request and confined himself to his home.
However, on instructions from TDP president Chandrababu Naidu the leaders once again visited Motkupalli and pleaded with him to cast his vote. It made Motkupalli to finally relent and attended the voting.
It may be recalled that, recently, while speaking to several leaders at the Assembly lobby, Motkupalli could not control his emotions. At one stage, tears rolled down his face. He levelled several allegations against TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu saying he was left with tears for believing in the Telugu Desam Party.
On the other hand, three rebel TDP MLAs - Harishwar Reddy, Gangula Kamalakar and Hanumantha Shinde pariticipated in cross voting and supported TRS candidate K Kesava Rao.
