Party Over For N.Chandrababu Naidu? Over A Dozen TDP MLAs In Touch With BJP

New Delhi: After engineering the defection of four Rajya Sabha members of Telugu Desam Party, the BJP is now in touch with more than two-thirds of TDP MLAs in Andhra Pradesh who may join the BJP soon. The state in-charge of Andhra Pradesh and National Secretary of BJP, Sunil Deodhar, said Telugu Desam Party supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu and and his immediate family are facing serious charges of corruption and the party’s citadel seems to be crashing down. He said several TDP MLAs are in touch with BJP, but he refused to share their number.

Deodhar said the TDP was now a party with “no future as Naidu’s misdeeds and acts of corruption” had been exposed. “From cash-for-vote scandal to various controversial government contracts awarded by his (TDP) government, Naidu seems neck-deep in corruption. That is the reason why most of MLAs, even his close aides, are deserting the party. Four MPs in Rajya Sabha have already joined us and now several other leaders are approaching us,” said Deodhar, who was the main architect of BJP’s historic win in the Assembly elections of Tripura.
