Is Guntur (East) MLA from YSRCP, Mustafa defecting into TDP? Will YSRCP lose one more wicket? Is Rayapati doing mediation between this MLA and CM Chandra babu Naidu? These are the hot discussions going on in political circles now. As per these discussions it is almost confirmed that Mustafa is turning coat and it is jut a matter of time to make it official.
CM Chandrababu was in Guntur to inaugurate Omega Hospital . While the CM wa in town, member of Parliament Rayapati Sambasivarao met CM along with YSRCP MLA Mustafa. Mustafa, who won against TDP candidate Giridhara Rao in 2014 elections, has been in touch with some of the TDP leaders for some time, as per the grapevine. So, Mustafa, Rayapati had some private discussions with Chandra Babu for around 20 minutes. What transpired among them is not known to anyone but many predict, Mustafa might have been all set to join the ruling party soon. It is to be recalled that, almost one year back also Mustafa met Chandra Babu when he was in Guntur for laying foundation stone of a hotel.
However, Mustafa told the press that he is not joining TDP and he met CM only for discussing development activities of the constituency. He also said, CM agreed to grant funds worth of 2 crore for the development of the constituency. But there are not many takers for these statements.
So far, around 20 MLAs from YRCP have joined TDP and 3 of them are ministers. We have to wait and see, what lies ahead for Mustafa.
