TDP Chandrababu Naidu has been exercising the selection of candidates for the upcoming general elections for the past few days. On Tuesday, he held a review meeting with Chittoor district leaders but it’s one constituency, the TDP wants to give a tough competition to the opposition and it is Nagari.
YSR Congress firebrand leader Roja is the currently MLA of this constituency and she never leaves any opportunity to criticise Naidu and TDP. So the focus is on Nagari but TDP has few headaches as two strong persons want ticket.
Late Gaali Muddukrishnama Naidu’s elder son Bhanu Prakash is anticipating a call from the TDP boss but surprisingly Gaali’s family members don’t want Bhanu Prakash to contest the elections for unknown reasons. They are supporting Siddhartha Engineering College Chairman Konduru Ashok Kumar.
To the review meeting in Undavalli, both sides transported their supporters in special buses to show their stamina to the TDP leadership. This is where things went bad. Supporters of Bhanu Prakash and Ashok Kumar indulged in verbal war and at one point of time, they tried to manhandle each other.
As the situation was getting worse, TDP leadership did not zero upon the candidate for Nagari seat. This whole episode got the notice of Chandrababu Naidu and he ordered the party leaders to work for the success of whomever the candidate is. Left with no other option, Bhanu Prakash and Ashok Kumar returned.
