Has YSRCP's two-time MLA and renegade leader Kotamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy been double-crossed? It clearly seems that he has ended up being neither here nor there. He has already fallen out of favour with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSRCP for rebelling against the party. At the same time, he is finding that there is no guarantee that he would be given the TDP ticket to contest from Nellore urban.
Thus, he has ended up losing both the worlds. When Kotamreddy rebelled against the YSRCP, it was assumed that he would be made the TDP candidate from Nellore urban in the 2024 election. However, there appears to be uncertainty about that. There is a strong buzz that former minister P Narayana could be the TDP candidate from Nellore urban.
There is a buzz that Chandrababu Naidu has already assured Narayana that he would get the party ticket. Severa senior leaders too have reportedly been sounded out on Narayana's candidature. This only means that Kotamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy may not get the TDP ticket. This means, he would end up leaving his mother party and getting nothing in return for joining the TDP.
On April 7, Chandrababu Naidu is set to tour Nellore district. Kotamreddy is likely to join the TDP in his presence. His brother has already joined the TDP sometime ago. Insiders say that Kotamreddy might be given some other key post in lieu of standing down in favour of P Narayana.
