Jagan the YSRC Chief is in for trouble again. If the reports from the Telugu Desam Party are to be believed, the TDP cadres are luring a dozen MLAs from the YSRC into the TDP fold on the directions of the chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
The idea of the TDP is make YSRC almost empty by next elections. Babu has sent feelers to at least 10 more MLAs from the YSRC asking them to join the TDP.
Sky is the limit for them and good posts are being offered to lure them it is reported.
These MLAs hail from Kadapa, Kurnool, Chittoor and Nellore, besides Krishna district. If the deal is struck, it is only a matter of time that they would take a plunge into the TDP.
The TDP cadres cautioned them that Jagan would be going to jail again very shortly and the YSR Congress party would become headless. As such, the party would not have any direction to fight the next elections, so it is better to join the TDP as some of them have already become Ministers in AP.
Till now, the TDP chief has managed to poach as many as 21 MLAs from the YSR Congress party and gave cabinet berths to four of them. First Lokesh the IT Minister would get the briefing on the YSRC MLAs and then it will be finalised by the CM Babu.
Though the cabinet reshuffle did not satisfy everybody, the defected MLAs had no option but to continue in the TDP after Babu assured them to take care of their future interests.
