"As Chandrababu Naidu deems that the party (TDP) does not need me, I feel it is not correct for me to continue in the party. So, I will go to Delhi soon, meet the Lok Sabha Speaker and tender my resignation," said Srinivas in a post on social media platform X.

 

Srinivas also said that he will be resigning from TDP immediately after submitting his resignation of the Lok Sabha membership.

Srinivas (57) was first elected to the Lok Sabha in 2014, followed by a re-election in 2019.
