That things are not going to be easy in YSR CP for Dadi Veerabhadra Rao is evident immediately after the latter quit the TDP. Dadi has already made it clear that he is joining YSR CP after meeting Jagan in jail.
But the resistance from within the district YSR CP is already causing embarrassment to the senior leader, who had sent his resignation letter to Chandrababu yesterday.
The Konathala group is still unable to come to terms with the ensuing admission to Dadi in the party. Konathala Ramakrishna is currently leading the YSR Congress Party in Visakhapatnam district. He is already unhappy that he was not being given due importance in important decisions.
In this backdrop, the invitation to Dadi Veerabhadra Rao, who has been his political foe for decades now, is not to the liking of Konathala, who is planning to contest for Anakapalle MLA seat in the next Assembly elections.
Despite his bitterness, Konathala today said that he would not object to Dadi joining the party, if Jagan thinks YSR CP would be strengthened with the move. He admitted that he had faced problems with Dadi in the past, but he would still respect party’s decision.
Though the party leadership seems to have convinced him to accept Dadi’s joining, local leaders say it would not be easy for both the leaders to sail smoothly in the same boat.
Dadi is apparently looking at contesting as MP from Anakapalle. Speaking to reporters today, Dadi said that he would meet with Jagan in jail tomorrow morning and if he were to be satisfied with Jagan’s promises on a range of issues, then he would announce his decision.
Meanwhile, Kutbullapur independent MLA Kuna Srisailam Goud is all set to join YSR CP. The MLA who is presently associated with the Congress Party is meeting Vijayamma on April 6.
