Undavalli Sridevi, who secured victory as a YCP MLA from Tadikonda in the previous Andhra Pradesh elections, is now on the brink of transitioning to the TDP camp. A significant turning point in this transition was the recent visit of TDP National General Secretary Lokesh’s Yuvagalam padayatra to Tadikonda.
During this event, Sridevi’s presence gained considerable attention as she engaged in a dialogue with Amaravati’s farmers. In this interaction, she expressed her willingness to align herself with the TDP while criticizing the YCP government.
Sridevi faced suspension from YCP due to allegations of cross-voting in favor of TDP during the MLC elections. Reports suggest that Chandrababu Naidu has outlined certain conditions for her integration into the TDP. Speculation is rife that Sridevi might contest for TDP from Tadikonda in the upcoming assembly elections or even consider the Prattipadu constituency.
However, it’s worth noting that the TDP ticket for Tadikonda has already been secured by former MLA Shravan Kumar. In a surprising move, there are discussions about offering a chance to retired IAS officer Ramanjaneyulu in Prathikonda.
Amid these developments, Chandrababu Naidu seems to be considering positioning Sridevi for the Bapatla Lok Sabha constituency. This strategy could potentially pit her against Nandigam Suresh, a YCP MP representing that area. The decision now rests with Sridevi: will she accept this proposition? The unfolding events will shed light on her final choice.
