As expected there is some discontent among a dozen MLAs on the cabinet expansion. Speculations are abuzz that as many as 12 TDP MLAs will be joined YSR Congress after the Cabinet Expansion on Sunday. These Legislators seems to be already in touch with the YCP Leadership for jumping the fence at any time.
According to some news papers, TDP Senior Leaders aren’t happy with the induction 3 YSR Congress MLAs into AP Cabinet. They even urged AP CM Chandrababu Naidu not to encourage Opportunist Politicians and forget about the leaders who are loyal to the party for decades.
However, TDP Supremo Chandrababu Naidu wasn’t in a position to take the seniors into confidence in this matter. Sujana Chowdhary and Lokesh Babu are the key selectors of the new inductions it is reported. CAG Report exposing the corruption in the welfare and development schemes of TDP Government is a huge blow to the image of the Government and personal image of CM Chandrababu. Telugu Desam is already facing issues because of the internal bickering in several districts since defections were encouraged by the Party leadership.
Failure in implementing poll promises such as Special Category Status, Visakha Railway Zone, Farm Loan Waiver, DWACRA loan waiver and monthly allowances for the unemployed could work against TDP. All these factors could lead to severe anti-incumbency and hence few TDP MLAs might be considering the option to shift the party.
All said and done Jagan is also planning to expand the party and there are rumors that Lagadapati the popular congress MP might join YSRC in the near future. There are rumors that even Daggubait Purandeshwari is also in touch with Jagan. But some other sources close to her said that since the BJP is in power she might continue with the BJP for the time being.
