It looks like a big jolt awaits Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP, as one of the party MLAs Gottipati Ravi Kumar (Addanki constituency) aka Bujji is likely to join his former party YSRCP soon. As per our sources, Ravi Kumar is in discussions with YCP top brass and he might step down as an MLA before taking YCP membership again.
Bujji started his political career in the Congress party as Martur MLA in 2004. Later, he has won for three successive times from Addanki, but contested on three different tickets. In 2014, he won as YSRCP candidate and switched loyalties to TDP later. Now that his prospects in the TDP look bleak, the 4-time legislator seems to be all set to return to his former party. Talks of Ravi Kumar going back to YCP are widely under circulation and doing rounds for a while now.
On other hand, TDP faced a slew of deflections which started off with Rajya Sabha MPs CM Ramesh, Sujana Chowdhary and TG Venkatesh who shifted to Bharatiya Janata Party. Now, this development will be a kind of another blow for TDP.
