Ashok Gajapathi Raju, a veteran with decades of political experience from Vizianagaram, has held numerous positions in central ministries. His followers are keenly watching his next move.
Ashok Gajapathi Raju has never asked for positions; they have often been offered to him.
He wanted to run for the Lok Sabha from Vizianagaram in 2024, but due to the rule of only one ticket per family, his daughter received the ticket instead.
With the NDA coalition government now in power in Andhra Pradesh and at the Center, many expected Ashok Gajapathi Raju to be offered a position. There had been speculation for years that he might be appointed as a Governor.
However, while the Center has recently appointed governors in various states, Ashok's name has not been mentioned.
Additionally, with two YCP MPs resigning from their Rajya Sabha seats, there was talk that one of those positions might be offered to Ashok. Yet, other names are now being suggested for these positions.
This uncertainty about Ashok Gajapathi Raju’s potential role has left his supporters in suspense. There is ongoing debate about whether he will receive a significant post or be retired from politics.
Despite this, many believe that, regardless of politics, Ashok Gajapathi Raju, known for his integrity, should continue to hold a prominent office.
