Give up MP post, Eranna tells APCC chief

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Former Alur MLA Masala Eranna on Thursday released copies of an `open letter' to MP and APCC president K. Keshav Rao, demanding that he give up his membership to the Rajya Sabha.

At a press conference here, the former chairman of Kurnool Zilla Parishad launched a broadside at Dr. Rao, asking him whether he `needed' two posts. He criticised the APCC president saying that he had never ever won a direct election and that he was not used to receiving petitions from the public.
