HYDERABAD: Suspended Telugu Desam leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy is all set to quit the party along with two other MLAs, Jogu Ramanna and K Harishwar Reddy and plans to float his own outfit to fight for Telangana statehood.
Janardhan Reddy, who staged a dharna in the Assembly on Monday demanding that the speaker accept their resignations from the Assembly, declared that he would visit the Assembly daily till the speaker accepted their resignations. The three MLAs were taken into custody when they were proceeding towards the Gun Park along with scores of supporters. They planned to march from the Gun Park to the Tank Bund but the police detained them and released them later. The group returned to the Assembly and staged a dharna near the Gandhi statue.

Alleging that the speaker was denying them their right to resign, he recalled that the resignations of nearly 70 MPs were accepted by the Lok Sabha speaker during the row over the Bofors gun deal. When the Assembly speaker rejected the resignations of 101 Telangana MLAs of various parties, the Nagam group resubmitted their resignations and are now insisting on the speaker to accept the resignations. "It is our right to quit as MLAs," Nagam said. Asked about his plans, he said he may launch a party.
