It is an open secret that former minister and YSR Congress party MLA from Atmakur constituency in Nellore district Anam Ramanarayana Reddy has not been feeling comfortable in the ruling party.
Once a dominating political force in Nellore district during the Congress party regime, Anam has been feeling sidelined in the party with YSRC president and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy giving importance to younger leaders like P Anil Kumar Yadav, Kakani Goverdhan and Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy.
On many occasions, Anam openly expressed his resentment over the state of affairs in the party.
He also made allegations in the media against corrupt practices of Anil Kumar and others. Though he tried to bring to the notice of Jagan these issues, the latter completely ignored him.
Now, Anam appears to be contemplating returning to the Telugu Desam Party, which had rehabilitated him after the bifurcation of combined Andhra Pradesh which led to the collapse of the Congress party.
“There are no permanent friends and foes in politics. Once friends can become enemies and vice versa,” Anam said, indicating that he might shift his loyalities once again.
The former minister also said in the coming elections, his family would show its mark on the district politics.
“You are going to see what Anam’s family can do in politics. We have followers in every family in Nellore district,” he asserted.
