Post-Kuppam defeat, a big question mark hangs on Chandrababu's fate. Kuppam has been his citadel for decades. Today, the mighty and unbeatable Chandrababu is left with a fig leaf of just two wards. The YSRCP juggernaut rolled on mowing down the TDP. The TDP lost several wards with huge majority. Clearly, the voters rejected Chandrababu lock stock and barrel.
The defeat is more painful as Chandrababu himself has vigorously campaigned for the party. He personally monitored the voting trends. His son and party general secretary Lokesh too has campaigned in Kuppam. Despite that, the party was almost decimated in Kuppam. The crushing defeat is likely to demoralize the TDP cadres. It is now clear as crystal that Chandrababu may have to look for a safer seat for 2024.
The party's performance elsewhere too has been none too encouraging. The Paritala citadel of Penugonda too has slipped out of the TDP hands. The results in Nellore municipal corporation too are devastating for the TDP. The party failed to open its account. Ditto with the four divisions in Kakinada that went to bypolls.
The results show that there is a need for a serious introspection in the TDP. The party will have to work hard to regain the lost ground. The YSRCP is continuing the winning streak. It had won panchayats, then local bodies and now municipalities. What is making YSRCP tick and why is the TDP is on the downslide? That's food for thought for Chandrababu Naidu.
