Vizag South MLA Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar is said to be in two minds. He is physically in the YSRCP, but his thoughts, it appears, are with the TDP. In fact, he is a two-time TDP MLA who managed to win on TDP ticket despite the YSRCP tsunami in the 2019 elections. But, various compulsions such as the need to protect his educational institutions forced him to join the YSRCP.
Though he is in the YSRCP, he is still said to be keeping a distance from the party's day-to-day affairs. Also, he is said to be associating himself with former TDP leaders, who accompanied him into the YSRCP. He is actively holding Praja Durbars to reach out to the voters of his constituency.
The YSRCP leaders in the district and those at the state level are said to have taken note of Vasupalli Ganesh's approach. He has even skipped the swearing-in of Avanthi Srinivas as the district YSRCP president.
The party is said to be contemplating to give the ticket to someone else in the upcoming elections ang sideline Vasupalli Ganesh. Meanwhile, there is a talk that Ganesh has already opened a channel with the TDP with the help of former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao.
However, whether the TDP would give him the party ticket is also a big question. If YSRCP ignored him and the TDP sidelined him, he would end up losing both the worlds.
There is a buzz that the TDP is trying to promote former MLA Gandi Babji as its MLA candidate for the 2024 elections. If that happens, Vasupalli may not get the TDP ticket. At the same time, Doors are increasingly getting closed for him in the YSRCP too.
