Chandrababu Naidu's party in a quagmire: TDP left with 3 MLAs instead of 15 in Telangana

Firstpost  

The Telugu Desam Party is caught in a political quandary in Telangana, while it is grappling to extricate itself from a quagmire in Andhra Pradesh. Chandrababu Naidu, the supremo of the party who had proudly declared that his party would soon be a national party and had himself elected the party’s national president and appointed two State presidents for AP and Telangana, is now trying to put up a brave front in Telangana. The party now is left with just three MLAs: R Krishnaiah, who was projected as the Chief Ministerial candidate in the event of the TDP being voted to power in Telangana, apart from the two accused MLAs – A Revanth Reddy and S Venkata Veeraiah — in the infamous #CashForVotes case. The swagger the TDP used to flaunt saying that it wouldn’t lose anything if a couple of leaders leave the party, as it had a strong cadre base, has now become a subject of ridicule. The newspaper owned by YS Jaganmohan Reddy, Sakshi, has so far published a series of articles with special jackets on front page leveling “very serious” allegations of land grabbing and purchase of lands in the name of benami in the new Capital Regional by the Chief Minister himself, his son and TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh, several of the Cabinet ministers and TDP leaders.
