On the other hand, expressing regret over the comments of senior leaders, 12 former TDP leaders in the party resigned from PCC posts on Sunday. MLA Seethakka, former MLA Vem Narender Reddy and others are among them. AICC leader Priyanka Gandhi held a large-scale meeting under the leadership of Revanth Reddy at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday in preparation for the Yatra to be undertaken from 26th of next month in the name of Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan.
