Minister Puvvada Ajay is turning out to be a clever manipulator and is slowly edging out rivals in his borough of Khammam. With KTR declaring him incharge of Khammam municipal corporation elections, Ajay is slowly but surely marginalizing even biggies like Nama Nageshwara Rao, Tummala Nageshwara Rao and even Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy.
He has not given tickets to anyone recommended by Ponguleti. As a result, all the supporters of Ponguleti are left in the lurch. Ponguleti feels that Ajay is simply pushing him out of the party. He has taken up the issue with KTR, but to no avail. Similarly, MP Nama Nageshwara Rao too is deeply unhappy. His supporters have been denied tickets in the elections for Khammam municipal corporation. Ditto with Tummala, with whom Ajay has a running feud. Ajay, according to sources, wants complete control over the party in Khammam city.
Meanwhile, angry supporters of Ponguleti are planning to strike back. Some key leaders have already joined the BJP, which has promised them tickets. Many more leaders from Ponguleti faction are planning to join the BJP.
