Gudivada Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA Kodali Nani met this morning (09-07-12) YSR Congress Party honorary president Smt. YS Vijayalaxmi, raising curtain over the suspense pertaining to his joining the YSRCP. As an instant response, the TDP announced that Nani has been suspended from the party with immediate effect.
MLA Kodali Nani is a two time winner on TDP ticket from Gudivada constituency in Krishna district and is considered very close to junior NTR, the film-actor grandson of late NT Ramarao who founded the Telugu Desam Party. Nani has been sending signals for the past two months that he is going to part ways with TDP, fearing the party's almost certain debacle in the coming 2014 elections. He also toyed with the thought to join Congress party but finally decided to switch over to YSRCP a couple of days ago. Quoting his close associates, the media also reported that on assurance of YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy that he will give Nani not only the party ticket for Gudivada seat, but also will bear the election expenses, the later has finally decided to join the YSRCP today.
TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu tried twice earlier to convince Nani to remain in the party, but Nani was reluctant. Now on getting the news that Nani has met Vijayamma this morning, TDP has immediately announced that he has been suspended with immediate effect from the party, as in the case of Mysoora Reddy earlier.
