The women’s wing president of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and yesteryear heroine of Telugu films, R. K. Roja, on Monday quit the party severing a 10-year association.
In a letter faxed to the TDP headquarters, Ms. Roja expressed her gratitude for having provided her an opportunity to serve the party for 10 years. At the same time, she lamented the ‘injustice’ meted out to her in the allocation of party tickets in the 2004 and 2009 Assembly elections much against her preferences. “Despite knowing everything, party president N. Chandrababu Naidu failed to do any justice to me,” she regretted.
Ms. Roja felt that no justice would be done to people like her, who toiled sincerely for the party, even in future. “I never ever imagined that I will have to quit the TDP one day. But, given the circumstances, I am forced to leave the party,” she added.
It may be recalled that Ms. Roja met former Chief Minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, a couple of days before he died in a tragic helicopter crash. It was widely believed that Ms. Roja was all set to join the ruling Congress but now a question mark hangs over her political future.
