Narcotics case: YSRCP demands suspension of Eluru MP

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has demanded the suspension of Eluru Member of Parliament Putta Mahesh Yadav, who reportedly tested positive in narcotics test after a raid on a farmhouse on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

The party has also taken strong exception to the manner in which the TDP was trying to shield the accused.

Tirupati Member of Parliament M. Gurumoorthy, who spoke to the media along with party Tirupati constituency in-charge Bhumana Abhinay Reddy here on Sunday, reiterated that the TDP should take tangible action in this case.

“Elected representatives are expected to behave responsibly and set an example to society. The ruling party cannot shy away from sacking Mr. Mahesh Yadav as he is caught red-handed,” said Mr. Gurumoorthy.

Recalling the way the TDP had attempted to paint the YSRCP regime black, Mr. Abhinay Reddy said he expected strong action from the TDP leadership.
