TDP Repalle MLA Anagani Satya Prasad has been in Delhi these past few days. Political speculation is high that he will join BJP any time now. He has already held talks with BJP Working President JP Nadda to whom he was introduced by TDP defected MP Garikapati Mohan Rao. Along with Satya Prasad, two more TDP MLAs are also in touch with the BJP leaders.
Satya Prasad has not officially announced his decision anywhere. Meanwhile, Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi rejected rumours that he was planning to join BJP. He admitted that defected MP Sujana Chowdary is his relative. But he has no plans to leave the TDP because of his long association with the party. He also dismissed rumours that nearly 17 TDP MLAs are eagerly waiting to leave the party.
The TDP’s crisis is deepening ever since 4 MPs left the party and joined the BJP. Speculation is that these MPs are trying to join TDP MLAs as well into the BJP. YCP has said that these defected MPs are but coverts of Naidu in BJP.
