TDP warns all rebels to withdraw from poll contest by Friday

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) today warned all its rebels today to announce that they would withdraw from contesting polls by Friday evening or face disciplinary action by the party.
TDP's Programme Committee Chairman V V S Chowdary told reporters here that due to some techinical problems, the party issued B-forms to three candidates for seats which were allocated to BJP under the TDP-BJP alliance.
He said TDP had requested them to withdraw from contest but failed to convince the three candidates.
Besides the three TDP rebel candidates, some other TDP rebels also filed their nominations against the party's official nominees, he said.

Therefore, TDP has decided to take "disciplinary action" against the rebels unless they withdraw from contest by Friday evening, he said.
TDP is committed to honouring the alliance with BJP, he said.
