Why Every Party Is Running After These Two Leaders?

Both are squeaky clean and stinking rich - a perfect recipe for politics. Hence every political party worth its salt is approaching them to contest on their behalf for the Lok Sabha seat from Anakapalli and Visakhapatnam. Every party is planning to decide on the MLA candidates only after knowing if these two leaders are with them. The two most sought after leaders are former minister Konathala Ramakrishna and CMR group's Ramana.

Konathala, a powerful minister and an MP during YS Rajasekhara Reddy regime, has come out of the YSRCP and is currently inactive. But, YSRCP is now trying to woo him back into the party. The TDP had already held several rounds of discussions with him. Though he had met even Chandrababu Naidu, Konathala is still undecided. The BJP and Jana Sena too have approached him. Konathala's arch rival Dadi Veerabhadra Rao too is watching Konathala's moves very closely. He would take a decision on which party to join after Konathala makes his stand clear.

CMR group's Ramana too is much sought after. He is quite active in Vizag through his social work and charity activities. He is quite well-known in the region. The BJP, which was among the first to approach him, came back dejected as he had made it clear that he would not like to fight on BJP ticket. The TDP, YSRCP and Jana Sena are approaching him with offers of MP ticket form Vizag. Ramana is keeping cards close to his chest and is keeping everyone guessing.
