The nominations window for the Rajya Sabha elections is now complete and it has been more or less confirmed that TDP will not be fielding a fourth candidate. With this, three candidates of TDP, which includes one seat for BJP and one candidate of YSR Congress will be formally elected.This will be done unanimously if all of their nomination papers are fine. The suspense regarding a fourth candidate had been going on until the last minute.
Sources say that Naidu was not interested but finally he was okay if things started positively.YSR Congress easily panicked and started Camp politics to ensure that they don’t lose the seat. TDP made Jagan run from pillar to post, while happily enjoying their tension. But at the end of the day, the YSRCP candidate Vijaya Sai Reddy is now more or less a relieved man.
Sources say that it was the senior BJP man Venkaiah Naidu who warned of Uttarakhand style crisis of disqualifications and also possible elections for the MLA seats if TDP tries this. Babu finally relented and confined to Sujana Chowdary, TG Venkatesh and Suresh Prabhu.
