Jolt to YSRCP as Avanthi, Grandhi resign from party

IN a major blow to the YSRCP, senior leader and former minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao (Avanthi Srinivas) has announced his resignation to the party. He also stepped down as the party incharge of Bheemili Assembly constituency, citing personal reasons in a letter addressed to YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He also sent a letter to YSRCP North Andhra regional coordinator and Rajya Sabha member V Vijayasai Reddy, as well as district president Gudivada Amarnath. Srinivas served as the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Youth Advancement between 2019 and 2022 in Jagan's Cabinet.

Speaking to TNIE, Srinivas said, "I entered politics to serve the public, not for personal gains. However, the results of the 2024 general elections were disheartening."
