Stage set for Konatala's entry into TDP

Hyderabad, Dec 27: Finally, decks have been cleared for former minister Konatala Ramakrishna's entry into Telugu Desam Party (TDP), party sources revealed. Sources said Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao appears to have reconciled to the fact that Konatala will soon be inducted into the party. Ganta has been fighting tooth and nail against the entry of Kontala, sources recalled. Arch-rivals in Visakhapatnam politics Ganta and Ayyanna Patrudu are believed to have met Konatala to discuss his entry into the party. Sources said the two leaders compromised on the issue after receiving directions from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Both the leaders have finally decided to welcome Konatala.
