This is a particularly powerful political family from Singapuram village in Karimnagar district. This family had in the past given MPs and ministers. Now, the same family is at loggerheads with itself. Two scions of the same family are now competing from political power.
This interesting story is that of Vodithela clan. Vodithela Rajeshwara Rao was Rajya Sabha MP during PV Narasimha Rao’s time and was a close relative of PV. After PV was gone, he gradually faded into the oblivion. Captain Lakshmikantha Rao from the same family then rose into prominence. He joined the TRS and become powerful. He had served as a minister in the past and is currently an MP. Interestingly, his son Indraneel is now being projected to be the next leader from the family. At the same time, Rajeshwara Rao’s son Pranay is also becoming quite active in politics. Both the young guns are now trying to make it big in politics.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Pranay is in touch with the BJP biggies. He is said to have met BJP national president JP Nadda and other key leaders in New Delhi. If he joins the BJP, then it would be Pranay vs Indraneel. If this happens, an interesting family war is on cards.
