Recently TDP MLA Amanchi Krishna Mohan quit TDP to join YSRCP. Today Anakapalli MP Avanti Srinivas met Jagan and it is almost confirmed that he will be contesting 2019 elections on YSRCP ticket. There are rumors in political circles about Amalapuram MP Pandula Ravindra Babu quitting TDP to join YSRCP.

Pandula Ravindra Babu was officer of Indian Revenue Service till early 2014. He resigned to IRS job contest Lok Sabha elections in 2014. In Lok Sabha, he is a member of the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Standing Committee on Petroleum and Natural Gas, Consultative Committee, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. He is a very good speaker but sometimes creates controversies by making senseless statements. Earlier, he stated that people join in army for free liquor and non-veg. Of course he apologized for that statements later. There have been rumors since quite sometime about him joining YSRCP. However, today he condemned such rumors and told he will continue in TDP.

But despite his diplomatic statement about condemning the news of joining YSRCP, the rumors are not subsiding as analysts say, they have concrete information about his discussions with YSRCP leaders on this matter. We wull have to wait and see whether he continues in TDP or quit it at a later point of time before 2019 elections.
