Blow To Babu: Two TDP Leaders To Join YSRCP

With each passing day, the Andhra politics are heating up as the general elections are fast approaching. In what can be seen at a blow to Chandrababu Naidu, two prominent TDP leaders are all set to join the YSRCP.

Former TDP MLA Anna Rambabu and Madduluri Malakondaiah Yadav are likely to join YS Jagan in the coming days. Incidentally, Anna Rambabu, a Vysya leader in the Giddaluru assembly constituency in Prakasam district has decided to join the YSRCP after finding that his chances of getting a TDP ticket in 2019 are bleak. Rambabu had announced that he will join the YSRCP in the last week of December.

On the other hand, Madduluri had been actively taking part in Jagan’s Padayatras for the last few weeks. He had contested in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Chirala on a TDP ticket and was defeated. He is expected to play a key role in the 2019 elections as his constituency has over 30,000 Yadav votes. Meanwhile, the YSRCP high command is hopeful that more TDP leaders will migrate to the YSRCP in the next 2 months.
