Going by the latest trends in Andhra Pradesh politics, the BJP has started concentrating totally. Credible sources close to the AP BJP have confirmed that ousting of Kambhampati Hari Babu as AP BJP President is just a formality, and MLA Pydikondala Manikyala Rao is likely to the successor for the post.
The recent development comes after Amit Shah’s meetings with key BJP leaders in New Delhi over the past few days. ‘The high command feels that Kambhampati Hari Babu is not able to handle the tough situations in Andhra Pradesh. Many felt as if AP BJP cadre in on the defensive end, except for Somu Veerraju.
Kanna Lakshmi Narayana and Somu Veerraju were also in the race for the AP BJP President post. After Ram Madhav interfered, backing Manikyala Rao has been finalized.At the same time, BJP leaders are trying to please the other two. Most probably, Somu Veerraju and Lakshmi Narayana might end up in BJP National Committee.
Political analysts are eagerly waiting to see whether TDP up its attack against AP BJP leaders or not. With Manikyala Rao being a part of the State Cabinet previously, the TDP leaders should be careful while making allegations this time around.
