X
The opposition Telugu Desam Party(TDP) faced a huge humiliation with only 17 out of the 23 party MLAs casting their votes for Varla Ramaiah, TDP Candidate in the Rajya Sabha Polls 2020 reportedly.

It has been reported that TDP Rebel MLAs, Vallabhannei Vamsi, Karanam Balaram, and Maddali Giri have voted in favor of YSRCP Candidates. After casting his vote, Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi spoke to media and lashed out at TDP Supremo Chandrababu.

Vamshi found fault with TDP Chief for fielding a Dalit leader Varla Ramaiah for the Rajya Sabha polls even after knowing that TDP doesn't stand any chance in the elections.

He went on to say that, while the TDP was in power Naidu fielded Industrialists and Capitalists Sujana Chowdary, CM Ramesh when the chances of winning the Rajya Sabha polls are very high.

Vamshi alleged that, out of 23, only 17 MLAs have voted for the TDP Candidate and said that none of the TDP MLAs turned out as party's event. The MLA said that while YSRCP has four agents, TDP has none.

While the former Labour Minister Atchannaidu who was arrested by the ACB Sleuths over an alleged connection with the ESI Scam did not show up as he was not permitted to do so.

On the other hand, Repalle MLA Anagani Satya Prasad also didn't cast his vote and it has been reported that he is still in lazaretto and couldn't step out of his residence. Some media reports claim that the MLA is looking to bid goodbye to the party and join the ruling party.
