Trianglular hate story in Vinukonda

0

On the face of it, everything looks hunky-dory. The party is in power and the MP and the MLA are from the same party. There should be double-engine growth. But, the situation in Vinukonda is anything but happy for the ruling YSRCP. A triangular hate story is playing out with the MP backing the ex-MLA and the sitting MLA rushing to YS Jagan for help.

Vinukonda MLA Bolla Brahma Naidu and Narasaraopet MP Lavu Srikrishnadeva Rayalau are at loggerheads. One is trying to undercut the other. The reason? The MP prefers to deal with former MLA Makkena Mallikharjuna Rao. Makkine was a Congress MLA and a former DCC chief, who was invited into the party by the MP. The MLA, who feels Makkena is a challenger, has openly dislikes him. This is at the root of the whole problem.

The MP is said to be completely ignoring the MLA and said to be dealing directly with the former MLA. Recently, both the MP and the ex-MLA visited Savalyapuram to call on the family members of a YSRCP party worker who had died recently. While there is nothing wrong in consoling the family members of a deceased party worker, Savalyapuram is the native village of the MLA. The MP and the ex-MLA completely ignored the sitting MLA and went about their programme.

As if this was not enough, a party worker-cum-farmer from the village has complained about paddy procurement not to the MLA who lives in the same village, but to the MP and the ex-MLA. This has incensed MLA Bolla Brahma Naidu, who took up the issue with CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Now the ball is in the court of the CM. Interestingly, YS Jagan has similar complaints about groupism in the party from several other constituencies. Will there be some action or will Vinukonda case too end up as a pending file?

Another MLA to rebel against YS Jagan soon?

0

Is another YSRCP MLA planning to rebel against the party leadership on the lines of Narsapur MP Raghuramakrishnam Raju? Sources say yes. Vinukonda MLA Brahma Naidu is said to be unhappy with the YSRCP leadership. The MLA, who has publicly criticised YS Jagan Government’s sand policy in the past, is said to have remarked to his close friends that he would make his son join the TDP if it promises to give him TDP ticket from Vinukonda.

Sources said that Naidu has sent feelers to the TDP through some trusted lieutenants. They said that  while Naidu himself may not join the TDP, he may send his son into the party. Sources say that former MLA Anjaneyulu, the traditional TDP candidate from Vinukonda might make way for Brahmna Naidu’s son. Anjaneyulu’s wife contested and lost in 2004. In 2009 and 2014, Naidu himself contested and won from Vinjkonda. In 2019, however, he lost by a huge margin to YSRCP candidate Brahma Naidu. Since then, Chandrababu Naidu is said to be on the lookout for a better candidate.

TDP sources say that Naidu’s son would be the perfect candidate for the 2024 elections. They feel that he would emerge a surefire winner. Given the fact that Chandrababu Naidu may not make Anjaneyuu a candidate again in view of his massive defeat, Brahma Naidu’s son would be a winnable candidate.

However, Brahma Naidu has refuted the allegations. He said there was no question of his resigning from the party. He said YS Jagan would give him the party ticket again. However, as they say, there cannot be smoke without fire the rumour mill is refusing to buzz down.
