Dharmapuri Srinivas, a former chief of the Telangana Congress and senior leader, gave a surprise when he announced that he and his son had joined the Congress party. However, within a day, his son Sanjay announced his resignation from the party, leaving Srinivas shocked.
Srinivas had been away from politics due to illness after completing his Rajya Sabha tenure. He had previously joined the TRS party after the formation of Telangana state. His son Sanjay had joined the TRS, while another son, Dharmapuri Arvind, was in the BJP and currently serves as the MP of Nizamabad.
Although Srinivas was invited to join the Congress, there were objections raised by Nizamabad Congress leaders to Sanjay's inclusion. Despite this, Srinivas had joined the Congress along with his son, but within a few hours, he released a letter announcing his resignation.
He cited media attention and his age and health as reasons for his decision to stay away from active politics. Srinivas also announced his resignation from the Congress, stating that he would stay away from active politics due to his health. The sudden resignations of both Srinivas and his son have caused a stir in Telangana politics. It remains to be seen how Congress leaders will respond to this development.
