Why is TDP's ex-MLA Jaleel Khan wary of Vijayawada MP Kesineni Nani? There is a strong reason for that. Kesineni Nani is trying to get Jaleel Khan replaced from the Vijayawada East assembly constituency. And Why? He wants to promote his daughter Kavya Kesineni as the TDP candidate for Vijayawada East seat.
Kesineni has all along been ploughing his own furrow. Though he is in the party, he is an essential loner. He has running feuds with Bonda Uma and Bonda Venkanna. He called them worthless and said they cannot get 100 votes on their own. He is also at war with Jaleel Khan. Even during the recent corporation elections in Vijayawada, he had proposed the name of his daughter Kavya as the Mayoral candidate without bothering to take other leaders along. It is another matter that the TDP lost the elections to the YSRCP. Kavya, however, managed to scrape through from her division. Now, Kesineni wants to make Kavya the MLA candidate from Vijayawada east. Now, this is Jaleel Khan's constituency. So, Jaleel Khan is quite worried.
Jaleel Khan is said to be talking to the TDP's decision makers and is asking them to confirm if he would get the ticket or not. But, the next assembly election is a good three years away. So, the party leadership is non-committal on the issue. This is only helping to increase the worries of Jaleel Khan.
