Comedian Venu Madhav has filed nomination as independent candidate for Kodad constituency in Suryapet district in Telangana on the last day of nominations.
This came as a surprise as he is Telugu Desam party sympathizer and is also one of the star campaigners for the party.
Venu Madhav has been working for TDP from longtime. He did even campaign for TDP candidate during Nandyala by-elections in Andhra recently.
Then why did Venu Madhav file as independent candidate from Kodad? This is his hometown but he has not given ticket by TDP boss.
TDP which has forged an alliance with Congress in Telangana Elections didn’t get seat of Kodad.
Telangana PCC’s chief Uttam Kumar Reddy’s wife is contesting on Congress ticket from this seat.
When Bollam Mallaiah Yadav who had recently joined TRS from TDP contesting on Car symbol, N Chandrababu Naidu has started applying his plan B.
Since Bollam Mallaiah Yadav is more popular face in the constituency, Naidu and Uttam Kumar Reddy have feared that he’d spoil their chances of winning.
Then Naidu called Venu Madhav to file as Independent candidate to split the votes. This is the main reason why this comedian has suddenly entered into the election fray in Telangana.
