Talasani may face suspension

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam Party is preparing the ground for suspending former Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav after giving him a last chance of appearing before a committee of senior party leaders on Thursday morning.

The party sent a notice to Mr. Yadav on Wednesday evening asking him to appear before the committee comprising Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, K. Yerran Naidu and N. Janardhan Reddy and clarify his stand in the light of reports in vernacular dailies about his future political moves. Party sources said if he failed to turn up, he could be suspended by evening.

The party is stated to have taken a serious view of Mr. Yadav not firmly denying reports that he had met Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and for saying there was nothing wrong in meeting him.

At a meeting of city leaders and candidates who had contested the elections on Wednesday evening, the party president, N. Chandrababu Naidu, is believed to have got upset over Mr. Yadav’s shifting stand.

When he sought the opinion of these leaders, they said to have told him that he had given Mr. Yadav a long rope by calling him for talks twice.

The last straw was meeting the Chief Minister. Hence, there was no need for Mr. Naidu to call him again. Instead, a senior leaders’ committee could be asked to seek an explanation from him, failing which action should be initiated to send a strong message to others, they argued. Accordingly, the committee was constituted.
