The TRS’ poaching of TDP leaders is going on despite the celebrated handshaking of Chandrababu Naidu and and K Chandrasekhar  in Amaravati on Vijaya Dasami day . According to the reports, Rajya Sabha MP and noted BC woman leader from Telanana,  Gundu Sudharani is all set to switch sides to TRS.  She is expected to join the  pink brigade on October 29.  Sources said  KCR had offered her Rajya Sabha nomination in 2016.  Her Rajya Sabha term is coming to an end on 21 June 2016.  TDP has only two rajya Sabha members namely  Sudharani and  Devender Goud.  The possibility is that she may be either renominated to Rajya Sabha or  Legislative Council of the state. TRS MP Vinod Kumar is said to have mediated the deal.

That Sudharani’s  defection  happening in the run up to the  elections for Warangal Lok Sabha constituency is a setback to  the Telugu Desam party which trying to keep the flag fly high. Though the TDP has nothing to lose  even if it lost the election, as the party is extending the support to the BJP in election, losing a senior leader like Gundu Sudharani will have its own consequences in the Warangal town. No doubt, the news that Sudharani is quitting party is shocking because Sudharani is the product  Telugu Desam party. A post graduate, Sudharani began her career as coroporator in Warangal muncipal corporation.Between 2005-2010 TDP floor leader in WMC. She got Rajya Sabha nomination in June 2010.
