Lagadapati Rajagopal who took political Sanyas after the bifurcation of the Telugu states is all set to return to Andhra Politics. Rajagopal is known as Andhra Octopus for his political predictions. He has been giving poll predictions through his agency by name Chanakya.
Most of his predictions were correct. But in the recent Telangana elections, he failed miserably. TRS swept the polls and no independent has won the election as Predicted by Rajagopal.
Now he is with Chandrababu Naidu and meeting him now and then. There are reports that he would join the TDP by this month end and contest elections from Eluru. A lot of poaching is going on between the Congress and TDP these days.
In fact, Lagadapati is ready with some surveys to turn the tide for the TDP in the state of Andhra Pradesh it is reported. This is to mould public opinion. The same he did in Telangana and failed miserably.
Lagadapati has been seeing Chandrababu for a long time and advised him for the Telangana elections. But it did not work before the Charisma and sincerity of KCR and KTR. The people believed TRS and voted them back to power.
The present situation is that people are inching towards, YSRCP and we have to see, how far Chandrababu and Lagadapati will be able to turn the tide for TDP.
