Pushpraj denied TDP ticket...

Senior Telugu Desam Party leader J.R. Pushpraj is deeply disappointed that every time he is taken the distance for a position, then the position is made to elude him. Same was the case with the latest party nominations for the Rajya Sabha. He was expecting it, but at the last moment, it went to T.G. Venkatesh. Talking to the media on Tuesday afternoon, Pushpraj said there was a big difference between the TDP founded by Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao and the party being carried forward today. He felt as if he was locked up in a room and the TDP policies were carried on by others. Without naming Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu or anyone, he said he was promised the Rajya Sabha nomination and cheated at the last minute. Pushpraj felt there was no respect for a leader's loyalty or integrity in the party.
