TDP, YSR stay away from Speaker’s lunch

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress members on Monday skipped a lunch hosted by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan after their no-confidence motions were not taken up for discussion.

“We boycotted the lunch as our notice of no-confidence motion is not being admitted. The Speaker adjourned the House which should not have happened. More efforts should have been made for the functioning of the House,” YSR Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Vijay Sai Reddy told IANS.

He also alleged that the TDP and TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samithi) were creating a logjam in parliament on behalf of the treasury benches.

TDP Lok Sabha member Thota Narsimham said “We will not attend the Speaker’s lunch as she did not admit our no-confidence motion.”

He said the TDP was looking for a debate in the House on how the government was denying justice to Andhra Pradesh.

A no-confidence motion tabled by arch rivals TDP and YSR Congress against the Modi government was not taken up in the Lok Sabha on Monday as the Parliament logjam entered its third week amid no signs of a thaw between the agitating parties and the government.

After the House was adjourned for an hour and when it met again at 12 noon, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan sought to put the notices of the motion for leave of the House so that a discussion could be initiated. At least 50 members have to back the motion for it to be admitted.

BJP trying to suppress my voice: Chandrababu Naidu

Asserting that he is fighting for the rights of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday alleged that the BJP is trying to suppress his voice.

Naidu, also the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief, accused the BJP of provoking some people to make allegations against him for demanding justice to the state.

He was making an oblique reference to YSR Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.

Naidu was addressing a group of Muslim leaders who called on him to show their solidarity in his fight with the BJP-led Central government.

Seeking support of Muslims and all other sections of people in his fight, the TDP chief said the BJP was trying to politically weaken him. “I am not an individual. They are trying to weaken the state,” he said.

Claiming that he had joined the BJP-led NDA for the state’s interests, he said that his party pulled out of government and exited the alliance as it had failed to deliver on the promises made to the state.

“They are now saying they will wage a war against me. War for what? Did I demand anything unjust? I only asked about the commitments made in Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act and the promises made in Rajya Sabha (during bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh),” said Naidu, whose party has moved a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government.

Stating that he is fighting for the rights of five crore people of the state, the Chief Minister said the TDP would not rest till achieving the goal of special category status.

Naidu said the fight for state’s rights should continue. “We should protest but at the same time we should ensure that the state doesn’t suffer. We should protest like Japan by moving ahead on the path of development,” he added.

The TDP leader assured the Muslims that the government will hire best lawyers and spent whatever money required to protect the four percent reservation enjoyed by the community in education and government jobs.

He claimed that TDP was the first party to raise its voice against triple talaq bill tabled in the Parliament, terming the bill was a deliberate attempt of bias against Muslims. “I made it clear that while I am against triple talaq, it is not correct to arrest the husband and jail him as his family and children will suffer,” said Naidu.

If not for PK and BJP, YS Jagan would have become the CM – MLC Vishnu Kumar Raju

BJP MLC Vishnu Kumar Raju has never taken a back step, especially when it came to making controversial comments. Though his comments are close to realities, the way he expresses them generates intense political heat. In his latest dose of ‘hot’ comments, the BJP MLC spoke about YS Jagan becoming Andhra Pradesh CM in 2014.

The BJP leader took part in a function on Sunday. Speaking on the occasion, Vishnu Kumar Raju said, ‘if not for PK and BJP, YS Jagan would have become the CM of Andhra Pradesh. Yes, if TDP did not come into an alliance with BJP, and Pawan Kalyan has not supported this alliance, YS Jagan would have become the CM in 2014.

Because of ‘Mithra Dharma’, we have been silent on TDP. It will not be the same anymore. I exposed the ‘Vishakhapatnam Land Scam’ issue. It is because of me, a special investigation team has been ordered. Corruption by the TDP leaders has become rampant in the state’.
Speaking on Vishakhapatnam Railway Zone issue, Vishnu Kumar Raju said, ‘I am very confident that, Railway Zone will be approved to Vishakhapatnam’.

Prof Nageshwar – TDP No confidence motion is a damage control exercise

Prof Nageshwar – TDP No confidence motion is a damage control exercise


A day after TDP lost the initiative and forced to extend the support to YSR Congress sponsored no- confidence motion on the question of special status TDP moved its own no-confidence motion. Now, it is a strange political spectacle that YSR Congress and TDP are moving separate no-confidence motions though aimed at similar purpose. Thus, is the political manoeuvring to reap the maximum mileage from people’s sentiment. As the YSR Congress preponed its decision to move the no-confidence motion , Naidu hurriedly took the decision to pull out of NDA. Earlier he has only withdrew his ministers.

In fact, the decision of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has precipitated the exit of TDP from NDA. Thus, he was compelled to extend support to YSR congress sponsored no-confidence motion while accusing Jagan of indulging in politics of surrender, Naidu told the Assembly that he would still support the no-confidence motion in the interests of Andhra Pradesh. But, he soon realised the strategic blunder in it and retreated from his stand.

The TDP has not only moved its own no-confidence motion, but, is now non committal on supporting the YSR Congress sponsored move.

Interestingly, the opposition YSR Congress agreed to support even the TDP sponsored motion. However, senior leader of TDP, Kambhampati Ram Mohan Rao refused to give any commitment when he was pinned down by this author in a television debate on whether or not the TDP would also support YSR Congress moved motion. Such a diabolical stand is despite Naidu himself announcing that his party would not even hesitate to support the Jagan’s motion.

This indicates a sudden and swift change in the TDP strategy after realising that it lagged behind in the politics of no-confidence.

In fact, the TDP was also caught on the wrong foot even on the question of special status when it disowned the demand and accepted Centre’s offer of special package in lieu of special status.

Chandrababu Naidu is using his political clout to rally more support than what the YSR congress MPs could mobilise. The TDP has two additional advantages. It has more strength than the YSR Congress in Lok Sabha. The TDP left the NDA and thus became cynosure of national politics. Besides, the TDP supremo was instrumental in heralding United Front government at the Centre. He has worked with most of the regional and smaller parties in both United Front and National Front. He also has rapport with several NDA allies of BJP as he was the lifeline of Vajpayee government. Taking advantage of his political contacts, Naidu swiftly moved to frustrate YSR Congress and take a lead in the political chess around no-confidence. The BJP is also concentrating its attack on TDP giving latter additional advantage to dominate the no-confidence discourse.

Thus, despite several political somersaults and initial strategic deficits, Chandrababu Naidu could plunge into action on Friday in an obvious bid to control the damage.

TRS ‘jhalak’ to TDP & YSRCP on No-Confidence Motion

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) gave a shock to TDP and YSRCP in the parliament. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, TRS MP Jithender Reddy made it clear that the TRS party has no relation whatsoever, with respect to the no-confidence motion, the TDP and YSRCP are trying to move in the Lok Sabha.

‘We want to make our stance very clear. TRS party will only fight for the fulfilment of various commitments stated in the AP Reorganization Act 2014 (aka AP Bifurcation Act 2014).

The Central Government is cheating both the Telugu States. There is absolutely nothing that the Centre has done specially for the state of Telangana. Telangana CM (and TRS President) KCR’s ‘Federal Front’ is bound to bring a revolution in politics. Post the results of the Karnataka Assembly elections, the facet of Indian politics will completely change,’ said TRS MP Jithender Reddy.

TRS MP, Jithender Reddy’s comments left TDP and YSRCP in a state of shock. Everyone expected that TRS will publicly support the No-confidence move by TDP and YSRCP. These comments dashed the hopes of the TDP and YSRCP.

Pawan burning all bridges too early?

Janasena chief Pawan who recently fired salvos at ruling TDP and its leaders spoke to national media yesterday. After listening to what he spoke one gets a doubt whether he is burning all the bridges too early. He already “burned the bridge” connecting with TDP, now he did the same with BJP too.

Pawan Kalyan, while speaking to national media, ruled out any alliance with the BJP in Andhra Pradesh. After targeting TDP during his speech , Pawan Kalyan has once again targeted Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his son whom he has accused of “indulging in widespread corruption”. While speaking about any possible alliance with BJP, he told, “Currently, the image of the BJP in the state is completely negative. Nobody in his right frame of mind will partner with the BJP at this time.” Though it is good to see Pawan clearly saying he will not allign with BJP (at the moment), one gets a doubt whether he is burning all the bridges too early.

Generally politicians always keep their options open though they criticize other parties. Babu kept his option with NDA till last moment. Jagan keeping doors open with Congress and BJP. But it seems, Pawan is burning good Bridges too early. With his meeting speech, now he can’t align with TDP. Now he gave clarity about BJP also. While Chiranjeevi failed due to his overtly passive nature, Pawan seems to be showing unnecessary aggression and burning all political Bridges too early.

NCM – Master stroke by Naidu to Jagan

NCM – Master stroke by Naidu to Jagan

“No Confidence Motion (NCM)”- this is the buzz word in all Telugu media now. Not just Telugu media but national media also focusing on the turn of events as they are happening in Delhi. Political analysts are also analyzing political strategies employed by various parties in addition to NCM motion aimed at Union government.

Though initially TDP thought of supporting NCM proposed by YSRCP, it has later decided to work on its own motion. Once it decided to work on its own NCM, TDP has immediately taken steps to get support from various parties at national level. It seems already more than 50 MPs support to NCM has been achieved by TDP

Pulling out from NDA at the nick of the moment, seems to be master stroke by CBN. Though CBN was late to enter the game on no confidence motion, he could turn the tables very quickly. To be frank, YSRCP was about to get all the credit for introducing NCM against Modi government. To nullify that, Babu pulled out of NDA and yesterday all national media has focused on TDP, 2nd biggest partner in NDA exiting the alliance instead of YSRCP’s NCM motion. CBN’s experience also came in handy as he was able to successfully pull many national parties to support NCM. Moreover, senior and experience leader and his party proposing and executing NCM gives sort of confidence to other national parties too to support the motion rather than novice parties doing so.

Shiv Sena non-committal on TDP’s no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha

Shiv Sena non-committal on TDP’s no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha

Maintaining suspense, the Shiv Sena – a NDA constituent and oldest ally of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – remained non-committal on the Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) proposed no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government in the Lok Sabha.

While Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray has chosen to keep mum on the political developments in the national capital, party circles indicated he may soon convene a meeting of top party leaders, its MPs, MLAs and MLCs before finalizing its stand. The party has 18 Lok Sabha MPs.

“No decision on the issue has been taken by the Shiv Sena. Whatever decision has to be taken, will be done by Uddhav (ji),” said senior party leader and Union Heavy Industries Minister Anant Geete who was in Mumbai on Friday.

In fact, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP President Chandrababu Naidu had on February 3 called up Thackeray and expressed his grouse with the BJP over many issues, including the Union Budget, the “step-motherly treatment” meted out to Andhra Pradesh, and the party’s mood to quit NDA and go alone.

Like the TDP, the Sena has nursed an old grudge since 2014 for not being allotted additional ministerial berths in the Union Cabinet and for being allocated unimportant portfolios in Maharashtra cabinet where it is a coalition partner, besides its unhappiness over its bete noire, Maharashtra Swabhimana Party chief Narayan Rane joining the NDA and being given a BJP ticket for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls.

Earlier, Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had met Thackeray in Mumbai on November 2, and the duo are known to have built up a rapport then.

In a sharp critique after the outcome of the recent bypolls in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the Shiv Sena on Friday predicted that BJP’s tally would fall by 100-110 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from its current strength of around 272.

Prior to this, on January 23 on the 5th death anniversary of the Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray had announced that hisparty would independently contest the 2019 parliament and Maharashtra assembly elections, besides spreading wings to fight elections in other states around the country.

Attempting to mollify its partner, BJP’s Finance Minister Suhir Mungantiwar this week claimed that the BJP and Sena would jointly contest the next elections “in the interest of the people of the state”.

However, he was snubbed by his cabinet colleague and Sena’s Environment Minister Ramdas Kadam who said that while Thackeray has already declared the party would go solo in next elections, any decision in this regard would be taken only by him (Thackeray) and not the BJP.

I do not have loopholes like you (TDP & YSRCP) – Pawan Kalyan

With one speech, Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan has completely changed the political equations both at the Centre and State. Pawan Kalyan carried the tag as ‘Chandrababu Agent’ for quite some time. With the speech on Janasena Formation Day, the tag changed to ‘BJP Agent’.

Putting an end to all speculations, controversies, and rumours around him, Pawan Kalyan continued his blatant attack on BJP, TDP and YSRCP.
Pawan Kalyan, who is currently stationed in Guntur, reacted fiercely to criticism from TDP leaders, since morning. Speaking to the media, Pawan Kalyan said, ‘everyone claimed that I was a TDP agent until a few days back. And now, the TDP leaders are terming me as a BJP agent. If you lose your tongue, I might have to react strongly. Do keep that in mind.

Only I can fight with the NDA government at the Centre. You (TDP & YSRCP) people don’t have the guts to go fight against the NDA government. I do not have loopholes, nor have necessities like you. I have nothing to fear. We are only afraid of the people, and the god. How can you even say that I am reading out a script, or working for someone?’, questioned Pawan Kalyan.

The triangular fight between TDP – YSRCP – Janasena will definitely lead to a revolution in AP politics.

BJP behind Pawan Kalyan ?

BJP behind Pawan Kalyan ?

After Pawan Kalyan fired salvos on ruling TDP and Nara Lokesh, political events are changing so fast in the state. In fact, as one BJP leader quoted, “There has been high-drama in AP politics in last one month”. Recent in this one is TDP suspecting BJP and Modi-Amit Shah duo behind Pawan Kalyan and his comments.

Chandra Babu himself expressed this doubt and commented “Unfortunately, there are some very big heads behind all this and they are trying to weaken TDP party”. Moreover common man is also getting a doubt about BJP behind Pawan’s comments. Pawan’s allegations of linking Shekhar Reddy with Lokesh is definitely a new allegation and even Sakshi media or YSRCP party who always keep a tab on Lokesh and all other TDP leaders never did this allegation. So, as per common man, even if this allegation is true – there is no way that Pawan can know this information unless some BJP leaders that too at top position passed this information to him.

Moreover, there is new information doing rounds in media circles that Pawan is soon (maybe in a month or two) meeting Ram Madhav, one of the disciples of Amit Shah who mainly involves in sketching and executing electioneering strategies of BJP. Common people remembers Tammareddy Bharadwaja’s video that he released more than a month back as the current sequence of events are almost in sync with what he said in that video.

New twist: TDP to move NC motion instead of supporting YSRCP’s

YSRCP is planning to move no confidence motion on Modi’s government. Until yesterday everyone thought, TDP is planning to support no confidence motion moved by Jagan. But as per the latest reports, TDP planning to move no confidence motion by itself instead of supporting YSRCP’s no confidence motion.

As TDP is still part of NDA alliance, it can not move no confidence motion on the government. But today, Chandra Babu decided to officially bid good bye to NDA. He asked MP Thota Narasimham to give notice for no confidence motion on Union government. In teleconference held with MPs today, Chandra Babu opined why should they support the motion moved by A-1 in financial crimes.

However, it seems Chandra Babu dillydallying a lot on how to respond on no confidence motion. Until 3 days back, Chandra Babu’s stand was not to support YSRCP’s no confidence motion. But yesterday, TDP decided to support YSRCP’s motion.Even major news papers this morning covered the news saying TDP will support YSRCP’s no confidence motion. However, now again CBN changed his mind and asked TDP MPs to move no confidence motion by themselves. YSRCP MP YV Subba Reddy has already given notice in this regard yesterday.

So it will be interesting to see if YSRCP’s notice (that was given first) is considered will TDP support it and viceversea.

TDP ready to support YSRCP

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu announced that he would support anyone, irrespective of parties, who move a no-confidence motion in the Parliament. Talking in the AP Assembly, Chandrababu once again stressed that the Centre should fulfil all the commitments made in the AP Reorganization Act 2014, and will not compromise on AP Special Category Status. He also reminded that it is the sheer responsibility of the Centre to fulfil all the promises.

‘Few political parties and individuals are passing comments, after compromising. I will surely expose who they are, and where they have compromised very soon. One shouldn’t think they are very clever. It is the people who are more clever than every one of us. People will take a decision with facts in mind, and nothing else.

We will support anyone who moves in the no-confidence motion. If required, all the TDP MPs will also come in support. At the same time, the one who is moving the no-confidence motion compromises Andhra Pradesh state’s interest, they will forever be remembered as a traitor in the history’, said Chandrababu Naidu.

This mean, TDP is likely to support, even if YSRCP moves the no-confidence motion.

TDP MLA Peethala Sujatha ‘mega’ counter to Pawan Kalyan!

Chintalapudi MLA, TDP leader Peethala Sujatha came down lashing at Pawan Kalyan, over his latest allegations on AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh. Addressing a special press meet, Peethala Sujatha said, ‘Pawan Kalyan is making allegations on CM Chandrababu Naidu garu and Nara Lokesh only for political mileage. I demand apologies from Pawan Kalyan over his recent remarks on TDP, AP CM, and Lokesh.

He is boasting that he came into politics to question everyone. If that is true, I challenge him to question his brother MP Chiranjeevi. Why is MP Chiranjeevi not attending Rajya Sabha sessions? Why is MP Chiranjeevi not fighting for AP Special Category Status?

It is funny to hear that Pawan Kalyan, who is constructing his new house in 2 acres, is questioning about the land required for AP Capital. The political countdown for Pawan Kalyan has begun’.

It will be interesting to see whether Pawan Kalyan would respond to these comments or not. Even if he does respond, what would be his answer regarding his brother, Chiranjeevi’s numbness on AP SCS as rightly pointed out by Peethala Sujatha?

Rajya Sabha nominations & Caste equations – Part1

Rajya Sabha elections will be held in the year 2018, to elect the retiring members of the Rajya Sabha, Indian Parliament’s upper chamber. The elections to be held on 23 March 2018 to elect 58 members from 16 States. From Andhra Pradesh, 3 members and from Telangana ,3 members are retiring on 2nd April, 2018. List of members retiring – Chiranjeevi, Renuka Chowdary, Rapolu Ananda Bhaskar, P. Govardhan Reddy, T.Devender Goud and C. M. Ramesh Now, out of 3 seats, TDP has strength (of MLAs) to elect 2 members and YSRCP for 1 member. Same way TRS has strength to elect 3 members from Telangana. But after seeing the nominated candidates, as always, their “caste” angle and parties’ stand on various castes surfaced for the debate. Let’s see the list

TDP nominated below 2 candidates, both belonged to upper castes/

  • 1. CM Ramesh (Velama)
  • 2. Kanakamedala ravindra Kumar (Kamma)

YSRCP nominated for the only seat available to the party, an industrialist who is from the same community as party chief.

    1. Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy (Reddy)

TRS nominated 3 members for Telangana

  • 1. Joginapalli Santosh Kumar (Velama)
  • 2. Banda Prakash Mudiraj (BC)
  • 3. Badugula Lingaiah Yadav (BC)

After the list is out, the “mud slinging” game is started by political parties as well as their fans. YSRCP fans allege TDP for giving both seats to upper castes, one for Velama and one for Kamma. Initially reports came about Varla Ramayya (SC) will be nominated from TDP but later he is replaced by Ravindra (Kamma) that gave even more chance for critics to point out TDP.

At the same time, YSRCP received even stronger criticism, as the party nominated (again) Reddy candidate for RS. In 2016 also Vijaya sai Reddy was nominated to RS and he is also from the same community. Moreover, YSRCP giving all posts to the same community. They gave PAC chairman post to Buggana Rajendra Reddy, that made Jyothula Nehru and others to leave the party. Also, Jagan recently tweeted, ” We commit to the people of Andhra Pradesh to ensure their rights, and bring back Rajanna’s Rajyam ” but the statement is trolled and will be trolled as long as Jagan doesn’t demonstrate the commitment he is talking about by giving opportunities for other castes.

However, there are some basic questions one get regarding this Rajya Sabha nomination by parties and the caste equations – ” Is it mandatory or necessary for parties to consider caste equations while fielding candidates to Rajya Sabha”. Of course, it is not mandatory. Parties can field any candidate. However, we have to remember one thing. Ours is Representative democracy but not participatory democracy. A participatory democracy or pure democracy is a form of government wherein the citizens have a direct say in the formulation of laws and issues that affect them while a representative democracy is a form of government wherein its citizens elect their representatives who will have say in formulation of laws. Countries like Switzerland follow participatory democracy while India follows representative democracy. In a representative democracy, people feel the need for their representation. Typical Indian citizen is deriving his identity from various factors like his region, religion, caste, language and several other factors. So he feels he is sufficiently represented based on who are presenting in Legislative houses. So, though it is wrong for political parties to field based only on caste equations, they have to take utmost care to make sure no segment feels alienated.

Let’s analyze, since beginning, which party gave importance to which community and did they balance all of them – in next article.

High Court sends notices to 22 TDP MLAs who jumped from YSRCP

In a shocking development, the combined High Court of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana issued notices to 22 MLAs who changed the party after getting elected. Thanks to operation ‘Akarsh’ by AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, 22 MLAs have jumped into TDP, after winning in the 2014 AP Assembly elections as YSRCP candidates.

A PIL has been filed by former TDP MLA of Giddalur constituency, Prakasham district, Anna Venkat Rambabu. In his petition, the former MLA said, ’22 MLAs have changed the parties. After winning as YSRCP candidates, the joined TDP.

Amarnath Reddy, Bhuma Akhila Priya, Adinarayana Reddy, and S Krishna Ranga Rao are holding portfolios, and are part of AP State Cabinet. I request the honourable High Court to issue interim orders, to disqualify as both ministers and MLAs. A fine of Rs 500 should be imposed on each individual until the case is resolved’.

After hearing the arguments from the petitioner’s counsel, the High Court issued notices to the 22 MLAs who joined TDP, after winning as YSRCP candidates. Even AP Assembly Secretary and Judicial Secretary have been issued notice along with the 22 party defectors. The recent development took the AP CM by surprise.

The sufferings of TDP only got much worse with this incident.

CBN’s satire leaves JC Diwakar Reddy speechless!

Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu is known for his witty one-liners when it comes to putting his own party members in place. In a similar situation, Chandrababu Naidu’s satire left, the ever-energetic MP JC Diwakar Reddy speechless.

While all the TDP MPs are protesting in the Parliament for the AP Special Category Status, JC Diwakar Reddy came down to AP Assembly in Amaravati, to meet the CM. While JC was en route, Chandrababu Naidu himself came in contact with JC.

As soon as he saw JC in the lobby, Chandrababu Naidu reportedly said, ‘Badi Yeggodithe Fail Avuthaaru (If you bunk the school, you will fail)’. The CM said this in context to finding JC in the AP Assembly, while the rest of the TDP MPs are protesting in the Parliament.

After a quick talk with Chandrababu Naidu, JC Diwakar Reddy left the premises, after talking to media. ‘I will never fail. People who bunked the school, those who used to sit in the back benches reached great heights in their career,’ said JC, trying to do damage control.

At the same time, talking to the media, AP CM CBN criticised YSRCP for its double stance. ‘If they have so much confidence in Modi, then why are they encouraging everyone to put no-confidence motion? Then what is the necessity to resign?’, questioned Chandrababu Naidu.

The ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Sunday announced its decision to field C.M. Ramesh and K. Ravindra Kumar for two of the three Rajya Sabha seats from Andhra Pradesh for which biennial polls will be held on March 23.

TDP Andhra Pradesh President Kala Venkata Rao in a brief statement said sitting members Ramesh and Kumar, an advocate and part of the TDP legal cell, were nominated after the decision by the party head and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.

Naidu held prolonged consultations with party leaders for three days before taking the final decision.

Earlier, Varla Ramaiah, seeking a ticket to the Upper House, was said to have been picked by Naidu to contest the Rajya Sabha polls.

He told the media before the final announcement that “in our party, we get positions without spending money”.

Initially, the TDP was planning to field candidates for the three Rajya Sabha seats which will fall vacant on April 2.

However, in view of the changed political scenario following its withdrawal of two ministers from the Modi government, the TDP settled for two only.

TDP to bring out booklet on Centre’s injustice to Andhra

The TDP, which has pulled out its two ministers from the Modi government, is now gearing up to expose the raw deal meted out by the Centre to Andhra Pradesh since the bifurcation of the state.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is bringing out a booklet highlighting what the Centre had promised in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 and what was promised by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Parliament and what the Centre had actually done in the last four years.

The Telugu version of the booklet titled “What Justice Did Centre do to Andhra Pradesh? What Happened to Promises Made in Parliament?” is reportedly ready.

A party source said the book is also being translated into Hindi and English for wide circulation among the political parties across the country.

The 50-page booklet touches upon promises made including Polavaram irrigation project, special category status for the state (promised by then Prime Minister in Rajya Sabha), building of world class capital at Amaravati and various other projects.

It also talks about the failure of the Centre to implement what was promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 2014 election campaigns.

The exercise indicates the further widening of the gap between the TDP and the BJP.

On Thursday, the TDP withdrew its two Central Ministers P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju (Civil Aviation) and Y.S. Chowdary (Minister of State for Science and Technology) from the government, protesting the refusal of the Centre to oblige its demands for grant of special category status to Andhra Pradesh along with some other benefits.

BJP Ministers Kamineni Srinivas (Medical and Health) and P. Manikyala Rao (Endowments) also resigned from the Chandrababu Naidu government the same day.
