Does Chandrababu not know who to believe and who not to believe in his own party? Is he suspicious about the loyalties of his own team? Has Chandrababu himself admitted to this? Yes. If six-time TDP MLA and senior leader Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary is true, Chandrababu himself told him that he does not know who to believe in the party.
Butchaiah says that he had put a straightforward question to Chandrababu Naidu as to how many of his ‘trusted’ loyalists were with him now. To this, Chandrababu reportedly admitted that many of whom he trusted were now proved to be turncoats. He then said that he does not know who to believe and who not to in the party. Butchaiah claims that he has put forward several uncomfortable questions to Chandrababu and the latter had admitted that the situation in the party needed a lot of correction.
If what Butchaiah says is true, then the TDP is surely facing the worst existential crisis and is not sure who will stay with him and who will desert him. Butchaiah reportedly told Chandrababu to encourage the loyalists and not opportunists. He reportedly told Chandrababu to ensure that the loyalists are rewarded. He said his fight was not just for Rajahmundry and was about the party across the state.
Soon after meeting Chandrababu Naidu, Butchaiah Chowdary addressed the mediapersons. During the press meet, he asked the reporters if what he said was true. He said that everyone knows that what he has said was true and that the people at large know that the loyalists were being ignored and the opportunists were being given pride of place in the TDP.
