The Telugu Desam Party MLAs are a worried lot these days. Party chief and CM Chandrababu Naidu is calling them one by one and putting before them a list of their strengths and weaknesses for rectification prior to election. For the first time, Naidu is making frank analysis of each MLA’s mistakes and the steps to be taken for preventing their impact. The MLAs who have already faced their party chief have now started silently doing their work.

The next few weeks will be crucial for the sitting MLAs as Naidu will keep finalising their names for contesting the coming elections. Already, some MLAs’ names are being cleared. Full details of what each MLA has done in their constituencies are available with the party leadership now. Some MLAs have told Naidu that their rivals were deliberately creating rumours about them in the segments.

Given the tough election it is going to be, Naidu is weighing pros and cons regarding track record of MLAs in the past four and half years. He is asking them to mend differences with their local opponents and rival groups so as to prevent hurdles for their winning chances.
