Chandrababu: Unpredictable decisions in Telugu Desam Party like never before are surprising the party ranks. TDP has announced three lists so far. Candidates for 139 Assembly and 13 Parliament seats have been finalized. As in the past, Chandrababu was able to complete the selection of the candidates without going into any pretense. In some places, however, they bluntly told the seniors. The candidate was finalized only after collecting the public opinion, discarding the surveys. Former ministers like Kala Venkatarao, Ganta Srinivasa Rao, Bandaru Satyanarayanamurthy, Devineni Uma and Alapati Raja were also sidelined. As part of the alliance, some lost their seats, while others could not get tickets due to lagging behind in the IVRS survey.
However, it seems that clear instructions have been issued regarding the newly announced candidates. Chandrababu has made it clear that he will examine the performance of each candidate till the filing of nominations. If necessary, he will not hesitate to change the candidate. Ketesi also said that he will keep abreast of the local conditions. It seems that Chandrababu intends to make former minister Kala Venkatarao contest from Gajapatinagar constituency. Earlier he represented Etchers.
As part of the alliance, it was initially thought that the Srikakulam assembly seat should be allotted to the BJP. But it was not possible. That is why this time they are looking to send the seat of Etcherla to BJP.. Kala Venkatarao to Gajapati city. Kondapalli Srinivasan was announced as TDP candidate for Gajapati city less than a few days ago. But he is not getting much positivity. Kimidi Nagarjuna is currently in charge of Chipurupalli. Chandrababu hopes to field former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao there. But Ganta insists on allocating Bhimili to him. On the other hand, there is fierce competition from Darshi constituency. Along with an NRI, two leaders are hoping for the seat. Chandrababu is working on Anantapur, Urban, Guntakallu, Rajampet and Aluru seats on a large scale. Looking to pick winning horses in his own style. At the same time some seniors are expected to be given tickets. On the other hand, those who did not get tickets are being appeased. They promise that justice will be done after the government comes to power. People like Alapati Raja, who thought of resigning from the party, were softened by this. Chandrababu will call the leaders where the changes have taken place across the state. Chandrababu is moving ahead strategically.
