Harikrishna, Kodali Nani travel together raises speculation

In the wake of YCP desertions, the travel together in a car by former TDP MP N. Harikrishna and YCP MLA Kodali Nani (Venkateswar Rao) on Saturday morning in Vijayawada created a sensation in the AP political capital. They arrived together for the inauguration of NT Rama Rao Veterinary Superspeciality Hospital on Bandar Road in Vijayawada. It was inaugurated by Minister Prattipati Pulla Rao. Kodali Nani is known to be a great fan of NT Rama Rao, former Chief Minister and one of the greatest actors. He regards Harikrishna as his Guru and Junior NTR as his close associate. Nani clarified that his public life would be with the YCP leader, YS Jaganmohan Reddy only. He had come for the inauguration only because the hospital was named after NTR. The political context is Harikrishna is unhappy but continuing in the party founded by his father, NTR. Kodali Nani had quit the TDP and joined the YCP. Hence their travel together had alerted political circles. Barring speculation, it is a fact that Harikrishna and Kodali Nani have their roots in the Gudivada area. Hence they are fellow travellers on Bandar Road.
