YSRCP chief Jagan welcomed Shilpa Mohan Reddy, who left Telugu D esam Party (TDP) and joined YSRCP. He was in TDP for three years, but was unable to achieve anything, he said. He said that if YSRCP wins in Nandyal by-election, it would be a disaster for TDP.
Earlier, Shilpa was involved in a fight with Bhuma Nagi Reddy’s daughter, Akhila Priya, for Nandyala ticket. As Chandrababu cajoled both parties to maintain restrain, before deciding on the candidate, Shilpa expressed desire to join YSRCP.
