Choosing Nandamuri Suhasini for the Kukatpally seat from Mahakutami has upset quite a number of Telangana TDP leaders whose internal bickering is costing the party. The latest wicket that went down in the Yellow Party is that of Madhavaram Ranga Rao who met TRS leader KT Rama Rao and joined the Pink Party.
Ranga Rao worked on the constituency finalising committee of the TDP for Kukatpally and Serilingampally constituencies. After Suhasini was chosen as the Kukatpally candidate, Ranga Rao apparently was kept away from campaigning activities and was not giving accurate information. This has upset Ranga Rao who decided to quit the party.
When he was with the TDP, Ranga Rao worked as the Corporator from Vivekanandanagar Colony Division. He also influenced the party in choosing his wife as the Corporator from the same division in the previous GHMC elections. During his meeting with TRS, other Kukatpally TRS candidates such as A. Gandhi, Madhavaram Krishna Rao and local corporate were present.
