YCP losing all N Coastal MLAs to TDP

While Bhuma Nagireddy joining the TDP is hanging fire, the YCP bastion in North Coastal Andhra is crumbling. With Bothsa Satyanarayana, former Congress Minister, joining the YCP, the party MLAs in Vizianagaram started looking for an opportunity for leaving the party. Even the Bobbili Royal family has remained indifferent ever since. Owing to the situation, the YCP MLAs, Sujayakrishna Rangarao (Bobbili), Rajanna Dora (Salur) and Prushpa Srivani (Kurupam) are ready to join the TDP. Kottapalli Geeta, MP of Araku, is already acting as a TDP functionary. Nagireddy is however taking time to leave the YCP owing to his family ties with those of party leader Jaganmohan Reddy. He and his daughter, Akhila Priya, MLA from Allagadda, are ready to switch sides but for last-minute hitches.
