Ummareddy Meets Naidu: What's Up?

Ummareddy Meets Naidu: What's Up?

Senior YSR Congress party MLC and former MP Ummareddy Venkateshwarlu sprang a surprise on Wednesday, when he met Telugu Desam Party president and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in his chambers in the Legislative Council lounge.

Ummareddy said it was only a courtesy call and Naidu had enquired about his health. He did not reveal what exactly transpired between the two, as the meeting lasted quite some time.

The YSR Congress leader, however, said he had no intention of changing the party at present.

Yet, media was agog with speculations that Ummareddy might shift loyalties to the Telugu Desam Party sooner or later.

For quite some time, he has not been very active in the YSR Congress party and he did not take active part in the Legislative Council either.

In the wake of the recent migration of senior YSR Congress party MLA Jyothula Nehru into Naidu camp, Ummareddy is also said to be contemplating making a home coming to the TDP.

It may be mentioned that Ummareddy was once a staunch loyalist of Naidu and had even written two books praising Naidu’s leadership before 2004. After 2009 elections, he jumped into the YSR Congress party and became MLC recently.
