Former minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy joined TDP with a hope to reclaim their lost glory because Congress party was decimated in AP. Anam Brothers are synonymous with Nellore politics and Ramanarayana Reddy- late Vivekananda Reddy couldn't adjust in the TDP. When they are planning to come out of TDP, Vivekananda Reddy suffered illness and breathed his last a two months ago. Ramanarayana Reddy postponed his decision for some time as he felt it was the right time to take a decision.

The latest reports indicate that Ramanarayana Reddy is getting ready to quit the party and he is holding discussions with the well-wishers and party workers. Anam is giving feelers that he is ready to join YCP and there are reports that he has already held discussions with YCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy in this regard. Jagan reportedly welcomed him into the party.
