Kolikapudi Srinivasarao Ignored by Chandrababu Naidu During Nandigama Visit
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA from Tiruvuru, Kolikapudi Srinivasarao, reportedly faced humiliation during Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s recent visit to the Nandigama constituency in NTR district. Kolikapudi Srinivasarao, who has been at the center of a series of controversies within his own constituency, is said to have become a cause of concern for the party leadership.
During Chandrababu Naidu’s visit, ministers, MLAs, and party leaders gathered at the helipad to welcome him. As the Chief Minister arrived, Kolikapudi Srinivasarao greeted him with folded hands. However, Chandrababu Naidu reportedly ignored him and instead greeted a nearby leader by patting him on the shoulder. Around the same time, some women leaders from the TDP arrived, and the Chief Minister engaged in conversation with them.
This public display of disregard by the Chief Minister has led to speculation that Chandrababu Naidu is displeased with Kolikapudi Srinivasarao. Reports indicate that Kolikapudi Srinivasarao appeared dejected following the incident.
It is well known within party circles that Kolikapudi Srinivasarao’s leadership in the Tiruvuru constituency has been facing strong opposition from fellow TDP leaders. Some of his own party members have reportedly lodged complaints with the party high command regarding his conduct. In light of these developments, the party leadership is said to be upset with Kolikapudi Srinivasarao’s behavior.
