Did Vijayasai Reddy Seek to Join TDP? Atchannaidu Claims So

Atchannaidu’s Shocking Revelation

In a media interaction, TDP cabinet minister Atchannaidu dropped a bombshell. He claimed that Vijayasai Reddy, one of the top leaders in YCP and considered close to Jagan, also attempted to defect to TDP. According to Atchannaidu, He “begged” to join the party after NDA came to power in Andhra Pradesh.

TDP Veteran Alleges Vijayasai Reddy Tried to Defect

The political landscape in Andhra Pradesh is intensifying as it approaches a turning point. Amid controversies like the Tirumala Laddu adulteration issue, political shifts are also making headlines. Recently, Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, a former key figure in Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSR Congress Party (YCP), made a surprising move by joining Janasena under the leadership of Pawan Kalyan. However, according to a TDP veteran, Balineni wasn’t the only one seeking a change .

Vijayasai Reddy Allegedly Desperate to Leave YCP

Atchannaidu stated that he spent nearly 95 days out of 100 trying to switch his allegiance to TDP. The TDP minister alleged that Reddy was even willing to “catch anyone’s legs” to secure a spot in the party and save himself. Atchannaidu emphasized that despite Reddy’s continuous efforts, TDP had no interest in welcoming him, firmly shutting the door on his face.

TDP’s Stand Against Accepting Vijayasai Reddy

According to Atchannaidu, TDP’s decision was clear from the start. They had no place for people like Vijayasai Reddy, despite his apparent willingness to do anything to leave YCP. This rejection highlights TDP’s determination to distance itself from certain political figures, even those with considerable influence in YSR Congress.

The Political Fallout

This revelation is significant because Vijayasai Reddy is widely seen as the No. 2 in YCP, holding a position of direct influence over Jagan Mohan Reddy. If Atchannaidu’s claims are true, it indicates deeper unrest within YCP. These allegations could have far-reaching consequences in Andhra Pradesh’s political scenario, especially with the 2024 elections nearing.

The claim that he was actively trying to defect to TDP adds a new layer of intrigue to the political dynamics in Andhra Pradesh. It will be interesting to see how YCP responds to these serious allegations in the coming days.
