Which way will former minister Ravela Kishore go?

Former minister Ravela Kishore Babu is finding himself at political crossroads. Though currently in the BJP, this religious preacher-turned-politician is finding himself out of place. He is unable to reconcile with the BJP both ideologically and organisationally. He is finding that the BJP is giving him no importance. So, he is said to be looking to go back to the TDP.

In fact, Ravela met Chandrababu Naidu and actively participated in the Amaravati farmers yatra to Tirupati. He made the arrangements for the rythu yatra in his constituency. Despite all that, there seems to be no open-armed welcome to him from the TDP. The party is lukewarm to his proposal to re-enter.

Ravela feels that the BJP has no future in Andhra Pradesh. He feels that the party cannot hope to grown in the AP. He wants to make hay while the sun shines and wants to come back to the TDP. He even tried to explore the possibility of joining the YSRCP, but the YSRCP has a strong candidate like Mekathoti Sucharita in Prattipadu, which Ravela too is eyeing. Hence, he is planning to come out of the BJP and join the TDP.

In the 2019 elections, he lost to Mekathoti Sucharita from the same constituency. So, he is left with no option but to come back to the TDP,which was and is his political alma mater. It remains to be seen when Chandrababu relents and allows him in.
