TDP members and social media handles may be celebrating after witnessing disappointed leaders in YCP jumping out from the party. However, this phenomenon is the same for any party once the ticket allocation exercise starts.
YCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy wisely planned this well in advance without creating chaos in the situation. CBN's wisdom should also be considered here.
His idea is that if they open their booking after YCP booking is closed, then leaders will not have a chance to explore any other party. But Jagan is not stating that he is giving tickets.
He only appointed some leaders as party in-charges, meaning there is still an open door.
If that is the case, the discussion about the allocation of tickets has started internally in TDP. With that, there is some stir and a tense atmosphere.
It seems that TDP firebrand Ayyanna Patrudu is upset. Ayyanna is reportedly expecting the Narsipatnam MLA ticket for himself and the Anakapalli MP ticket for his son.
However, it appears that Ganta Srinivasa Rao, who was a bitter enemy of Ayyanna, is taking a different approach in this matter.
Political circles suggest that he is working hard to bring an NRI into the party to contest as an MP or to send Konatala Ramakrishna to Jana Sena and have him contest as an MP.
As a result, Ayyanna is currently upset and not answering phone calls from party members. It is heard in political circles that while Lokesh is silent on this, Chandrababu is trying to appease Ayyanna.
