Pic Talk: Leaderless TDP

TDP, which has ruled undivided AP for notable period and had good hold on Telangana from its roots, has lost its sheen over the years. After the formation of Telangana, TDP lost its cadre to TRS and Congress parties in the region leaving the party leaderless. The local cadre has even joined BJP in Telangana in recent times.

Seniors like Devender Goud to Errabelli Dayakar Rao to Talasani Srinivas Yadav to Kadiyam Srihari to Revanth Reddy to Mothupalli Narasimhulu, senior leaders have quit the party one after the other. Now, L Ramana is the only prominent leader of the TDP in Telangana who is acting as the TDP Telangana state president. Nandamuri Suhasini, who had lost from Kukatpally in 2018 general election, is also actively participating in the party activities in Telangana which is a good sign. She is also seen in the meeting called by party’s national president Chandrababu.

However, TDP’s die-hard fans and followers are feeling bad for the party’s sad state in Telangana where it had ruled and even developed the IT corridor. The party had its strong roots in the remote villages of the district as well. But all that glory is now gone. All the TDP netas are now left in Telangana are the golden memories and rich history behind them.
