Fiery Kodali Nani is turning out to be a major headache for the TDP. His vituperative attacks against TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is proving to quite an embarrassment for the party. Unfortunately for the TDP, it does not have a strong leader to counter Kodali Nani in his home turf of Gudivada.
Time was when Gudivada had a bevy of strong TDP leaders, who registered impressive victories. But now the party does not have many leaders. The famed Pinnamaneni Babji is now a shadow of its former self. Chandrababu, who wanted to contain Nani in 2019 elections, had even thought of pitting Nandamuri Balakrishna against him. However, he finally had to nominate Devineni Avinash against Nani. But, an unstoppable Nani mauled Avinash in the elections. After the elections, the TDP has become quite weak. Though Ravi Venkateshwara Rao has been appointed incharge of the TDP, he is unable to make much headway and counter Nani.
Nani’s particulately targets Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh. His attack is very vituperative. The local TDP in Gudivada is unable to match him.
