Visakhapatnam: Four corporators of YSRC – V. Narayana Rao (29th ward), Bipin Jai Kumar (31st), V. Bhaskara Rao (35th) and Ch. Janakiram (37th ward) belonging to Visakhapatnam South constituency – have been suspended for indulging in anti-party activities. A disciplinary committee of the ruling party took the decision to suspend them after former AP Brahmin Corporation chairman Sithamraju Sudhakar quit the party, declaring that a dozen corporators will resign from the YSRC.
Simmering discontent within Visakhapatnam South came to the
fore when some party leaders, including corporators, started criticising sitting MLA Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar openly.
These leaders had even lodged a complaint with the ruling party’s regional coordinator Y.V. Subba Reddy, expressing dissatisfaction over the functioning of the MLA. With the party almost finalising the candidature of Vasupalli Ganesh from Visakhapatnam South, the rebel leaders became strident in their criticism, realising they have no political future in YSRC.
