Has NTR's daughter and former union minister Daggubati Purandeswari's political career hit a roadblock? It appears so. Latest developments in the BJP indicate that the BJP leadership is increasingly feeling that he has not much utility for the party. More importantly, she is feeling out of place as the new brand of politics is emerging in Andhra Pradesh.
She had joined the BJP ahead of the 2019 elections and contested from Vizag seat for the Lok Sabha. The result was a disaster. But the Modi-Shah ruled BJP felt she still could add value to the party as she is NTR's daughter and a former union minister in the UPA government. Also, she hails from one of the most politically dynamic communities in the central Andhra region.
Hence she was made one of the national secretaries of the party. She was also given the responsibility of both Odisha and Chhattisgarh states. But a few days ago, the responsibility of Odisha state was taken away from her. Now it turns out that even Chhattisgarh's incharge post too has been taken away. She is now merely the convener of the joinings committee.
However, given the party's position in Andhra Pradesh, she is unable to lure anyone into the BJP. With all important posts gone, her importance has greatly reduced in the party. This is being seen as major setback for her especially at a time when she is planning to contest for the Lok Sabha from Visakahapatnam again . Reports emanating from Vizag say that the BJP has already assured another leader that he would be made the party candidate from Vizag. This means that she may even be denied the Vizag ticket. Sources say, she has hit a political road block of sorts.
