TDP Considering A Big Name As Penamaluru Candidate?

The current NTR district which was carved out of the erstwhile Krishna district is one of the strong zones of the Telugu Desam Party due to various reasons. However, the party could not reach the expectations in the elections in 2019. It failed to show total dominance over the region. Vamsi who won on the TDP ticket has been walking with the YCP.

As the elections are approaching the TDP is putting a special focus on getting strong in their zones again. For this, the party leadership is making strategic moves and picking candidates considering various aspects. A name is said to have been preferred by the party.

If we have to take anything from the media reports TDP has a name as the candidate for the Penamaluru seat. If everything goes well we might see a veteran Telugu hero's brother as the candidate from the seat.

It is said that TDP wants to field Adiseshagiri Rao, Superstar Krishna's brother as the candidate. The community is very strong and holds a good hold over the region. Having the image of Super Star Krishna is an added advantage.

There is a talk that NTR fans are not interested in voting for TDP as they feel their matinee idol is being sidelined in the party. We have seen flexes and banners saying the same. Balakrishna asking to remove Jr NTR's banners at the NTR ghat only added fuel to these reports.

If Adiseshagiri Rao is fielded as the candidate then Krishna fans and Mahesh Babu fans would vote for him. Seeing him being associated with the party, the fans might also walk with the party. It would be a double advantage. One is that Adiseshagiri Rao would have more chances to win and the fans of the family might support the party.

While the media reports say the same there is no official confirmation. We might get clarity on this once the official announcement is made. Let us wait and see what happens.

Super Star Krishna has the image of a Congress supporter. He even won as an MP on the Congress ticket. Seeing NTR's rise, Rajiv Gandhi encouraged him. It is said that the fans are now with the YCP. If the fans' votes can be transferred to TDP then it can be a game changer.
