In a setback to the TDP in Telangana ahead of Lok Sabha polls, party polit bureau member and former MP Nama Nageswar Rao Tuesday quit the party.
In a letter to TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, he said he has decided to resign as the party's "existence has become a question in Telangana" despite his and the TDPs best efforts to rejuvenate it, he said in the letter shared with the media.
Rao had served as MP from Khammam.
He unsuccessfully contested the Assembly polls in December last on TDP ticket.
The Telugu Desam Party managed to win only two seats in the Assembly polls in the 119-member house.
It had contested the elections in alliance with the Congress and others.
