Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister is understood to have obtained the intelligence reports and also reports from the party wings about the MLAs, who have been indulging in massive corruption in sand and liquor dealings, creating a negative image about the party among the people.
According to party sources, Naidu has identified so far as many as 18 such MLAs, who have been facing serious allegations of corruption, particularly those from combined Chittoor, East and West Godavari, Guntur and Prakasam districts.
The chief minister reportedly obtained the reports against these MLAs along with concrete evidence showing how they have looted the public money in liquor and sand dealings, caring a damn for periodical warnings from him.
Naidu has called for a meeting of the TDP MLAs at the party office at Mangalagiri on Friday only to pull them up for bringing a bad name to the party and his government.
While taking a general class, he is expected to meet the accused MLAs one-on-one to give them a strict warning.
Even the local TDP leaders have reportedly complained to Naidu that these controversial MLAs were behaving in a high-handed manner with all sections of people, focussing only on making a quick money and even picking up quarrels with the officials.
Naidu is learnt to have decided to warn them not to poke their nose in the crucial policies on sand and liquor and resort to misuse of power.
He would tell them that he would not tolerate even if their benamis and family members resort to any corruption.
"This will be a final warning for them," sources say, "as Naidu realizes that if he doesn’t act firmly now, the party might face the same downfall it did in 2019 within the next two to three years."
