With the Congress-TDP alliance creating a new hullabaloo in the already weakened Congress, many a senior party leaders threatened to resign from the party.

In a latest development, former minister and senior Congress leader Balaraju, who was with the party since three decades, resigned officially. Currently serving as the District Pradesh Congress Committee (DCC) president, he had blatantly opposed the Congress-TDP alliance.
