I am waiting to join TDP: Adinarayana Reddy

The suspense over YSR Congress party’s Jammalamadugu MLA Adinarayana Reddy’s joining in TDP is still continuing. But, he made it clear that he is waiting for the nod from party president Chandrababu Naidu to join TDP. He attends a mandal parishad meeting at MPDO office at Muddanoouru in Kadapa district on Wednesday where he spoke to media about this matter.

He said “I am ready to join TDP. They have to take a decision about my admission. It is like bridegroom waiting for bride’s nod. I learnt that the delay is taking place as a TDP leader here is objecting for my admission. TDP high command is trying to convince him for my admission into the party. If, TDP agrees to admit in the party, then I will quit my MLA Post along with YSR Congress party membership as I no longer want to continue as its MLA.”

Adinarayana Reddy skipped a meeting with Jagan Mohan Reddy when he recently visited Jammalamadugu, thus hinting no interest to continue in YSR Congress party. However, TDP has not reacted to his open statement yet. TDP president Chandrababu Naidu is also keen to admit him into party. But, former minister and senior leader Ramasubba Reddy from the same place is strongly objecting for his admission into the party. He even prepared to leave TDP, if Adinarayana Reddy is allowed to join the party.

Ramsubba Reddy met Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, party national general secretary Nara Lokesh, party state president Kala Venkata Rao and Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna to convey them his displeasure over this matter. Chandrababu Naidu can’t make up his mind as he doesn’t want to leave Ramasubba Reddy also. Hence, Adinarayana Reddy has been made to wait for a nod. In case, if TDP is unable to admit him into the party then he is left with only two options- join Congress party or BJP. If so, both parties may roll a red carpet for Adinarayana Reddy.
