Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, it appears, is hell bent on finishing off rival YSRCP. Not just content with welcoming those willing to join the TDP, he is also going whole hog luring the MLAs. Already a score of YSRCP MLAs have jumped the fence. Now, he is trying even to lure the defeated MLAs with a solid base. The case in point is Kapu strongman from West Godavari’s Narsapur.
Chandrababu personally called former Minister Kothapalli Subbarayudu over phone and invited him into the TDP. Kothapalli, who began his career as a TDP man, was a minister in both NTR and Chandrababu cabinets. He later joined Chiru’s Praja Rajyam and thence to the Congress, later he shifted to the YSRCP.
With his leaving, the YSRCP would be leaderless in Narsapuram. This is Chandrababu’s way of pulling the rug from under the enemy’s feat.
