Former MLA from Vizianagaram district Kondapalli Appala Naidu is an unlucky politician. Despite several attempts and hectic lobbying, he could never take reins of the Vizianagaram district TDP and become its president.
While the TDP was in power, he tried very hard to become the party president, but internal dynamics kept him out of reach of the coveted post. Chandrababu Naidu ignored his claims and made Kimidi Mrunalini as the district party president. She is essentially an outsider. Later, Sujaya Krishna Ranga Rao, who came into the party from YSRCP was made the party district president. Now, Mrunalini's son Kimidi Nagarjuna has been announced as the district TDP president.
Appala Naidu feels cheated that despite his long service to the party, he has been ignored. He has never been made the president. This has upset him and is heard commenting that loyalty has no place in the TDP. In protest, he has set up a rival TDP parliamentary constituency office in Vizianagaram.
