New Delhi: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP N Harikrishna has resigned from the Rajya Sabha to protest against the formation of Telangana. Sources say he is planning to go on bus tour of Andhra Pradesh to campaign for a united state.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari accepted his resignation. Hariskrishna is former Andhra chief minister NT Rama Rao's son.
Accusing the Congress of dividing Andhra Pradesh only to serve its political interests, five MPs of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have already resigned from their posts.
The MPs - Y Satyanarayana Choudary, CM Ramesh (both Rajya Sabha), Nimmala Kistappa, Konakalla Narayana and Modugula Venugopal Reddy (Lok Sabha) - said they were resigning in protest against the "injustice" being meted out to (new) Andhra Pradesh through the division.
Five Andhra Pradesh ministers and almost all of the 75 Congress MLAs from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema have submitted resignations.
