Krishnam Raju resigns from PRP

Hyderabad, July  31 :-

  Veteran Telugu film actor and former Union minister U.V. Krishnam Raju  resigned from the  Praja Rajyam Party on Friday.  He sent his resignation letter to the party office in the morning.

Quoting the reasons for his exit  from the party he  said ``The PRP did not use me properly in the party, though I was given a good party post.  I felt  that  I was in no way useful to the party  so I resigned. Actually  I thought of resigning from the party right after  elections but  I restrained my self.’’

`` After holding  discussions with my supporters  I will decide the future course of action,’’ he further added.
