Hyderabad: A recent meeting between BRS leaders and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu sparked speculation that these leaders may join the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The meeting took place on Monday and has caught the attention of political observers.
Among those who met Naidu were former minister and BRS MLA Ch Malla Reddy, his son-in-law and Malkajgiri MLA M Rajashekhar Reddy, and former MLA Theegala Krishna Reddy. Malla Reddy invited Naidu to his granddaughter’s wedding during the meeting.
After the meeting, Theegala Krishna Reddy confirmed to the media that he plans to join the TDP soon. However, the presence of the two BRS MLAs, Malla Reddy and Rajashekhar Reddy, at the meeting has led to questions about their political plans.
Malla Reddy and Krishna Reddy were both influential figures in the TDP before the state of Andhra Pradesh was divided. Recently, after the BRS’s defeat in the Assembly elections, Malla Reddy made some interesting comments about his political future. However, he has not officially decided to leave the BRS.
The meeting between the BRS leaders and Naidu was described as a casual, courtesy visit. During the conversation, Naidu asked about the political situation in Telangana, and the leaders discussed the TDP’s chances of becoming a strong political force in the state again.
