quote:

Paritala came out of underground in 1993. He got TDP ticket from penukonda. Ramana Reddy fought on congress ticket. one TDP activist was killed and large scale rigging was done by Ramana Reddy. But he lost to Paritala. Ravindra became labour minister in NTR's govt in 1994. He resigned as the minister and M.L.A as he didnt like the involvement of Lakshmi Parvathi in the case of J.C.Prabhakar Reddy. J.C.Prabhakar Reddy, brother of J.C.Diwakar Reddy wanted to join TDP. But Ravindra didnt like this. Prabhakar Reddy had the blessings of Lakshmi Parvathi wife of NTR which was against the wish of Anantapur district's TDP leaders. NTR later realising that Paritala had not done any mistake, gave ticket to him to fight from Penukonda again in 1995. He won as M.L.A.
He was on NTR's side during the coup in TDP in 1995.
